The law requires alcohol sales on licensed premises to be made or authorised by a personal licence holder. Individuals applying for a personal licence must hold an accredited licencing qualification such as the HABC Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders.
The qualification is accredited by both Ofqual and the Secretary of State at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, and has been designed to meet the statutory requirements of the Licencing Act 2003. Furthermore, whilst comprehensively covering the full framework as set down by the Government, the HABC PLH qualification is extremely straight-forward, user-friendly and free from unnecessary jargon. It also provides excellent value for money without compromising on quality.
The aim of the HABC PLH qualification is to provide candidates with essential knowledge of the legal framework surrounding the sale of alcohol in England and Wales. This includes key information on the responsibilities of personal licence holders, duties of the Designated Premises Supervisor, the role of licencing authorities and police powers regarding licenced premises.
Achievement of the qualifications forms as essential part of the personal licence application and will enable those selling or authorising alcohol sales to operate both legally and responsibly.
The HABC Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders has been designed to be completed in one day and includes a short multiple-choice exam which consists of 40 questions. You must answer 28 of these in order to pass.
There are no formal entry qualifications but you should obviously have an interest in or be employed in the License Trade or Retail Sale of Alcohol.
The HABC Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders is a nationally recognised qualification designed for anyone authorising the retail sale of alcohol in licensed premises including:
And any other venue or site where alcohol is sold. On successful completion of the course and assessment, candidates will be in a position to apply for a personal licence, through their local Authority.
Refreshments are included in the costs.
