Personal Licence (APLH) Training Course in Portsmouth

The course, which is also known as APLH (Award for Personal Licence Holders), is a requirement which has been set out in the Licensing Act 2003 and applies to all people who will be involved in the sale of alcohol in a retail environment. This statutory requirement has been implemented to ensure that people involved in the sale of alcohol do so responsibly and to maintain standards that minimise alcohol abuse. By completing the educational requirements to be awarded the Award for Personal Licence Holders hospitality workers will have attained the necessary skills and attributes to work within the industry.

If you are looking to work in bar, restaurant or work in a retail outlet selling alcohol you will need a personal licence. To get your Personal Licence, you must pass the Personal Licence exam. Once certified, you will be able to apply for your Personal Licence badge in Portsmouth through the local council.

Wonderful experience being trained by…

"Wonderful experience being trained by Ben McCarty. He knows his job very well. Give us the trainees opportunities to express ourselves, ask questions and respond to them accordingly. But he is sometimes too fast with words that some of us who are not English native speakers sometimes find it a little difficult to follow along. But he’s a great trainer."

Completed the DS Top up course with Get licensed and passed. Adame who trained us was great, very professional and down to earth guy. Even though he’s had various jobs and years of experience in security he just treats you like a equal, no better than anyone attitude which is good. Professional training by trainers who WANT you to pass not a back street company. Will be definitely back again for further training. Thank you.

Q. How long is my personal licence valid for?

All personal licences issued after 1st April 2015 are valid indefinitely unless they're cancelled, forfeited or surrendered.

Get Licensed offers a money back guarantee if you don't like the Virtual APLH course. Simply let us know before taking the exam and we'll return your money, no questions asked.

You need a personal licence to authorise the sale or supply of alcohol under The Licensing Act 2003.

To get your personal licence, the first step is to attend and pass the 6-hour personal licence course. Once you pass and receive your certificate, you can apply via your local licensing authority (which is usually your local council).

At the end of the course, you'll sit a 40-question multiple choice exam. The questions go over all the knowledge you learned on the course.

Certficates are dispatched within a week after you successfully finish your course. They're sent via Royal Mail. We aim to post your certificate within 2 days after receiving it from your training provider.

We will send you an email once we have dispatched your certificate. If you opted for Secured Delivery, your certificate will be posted with a service requiring your signature.

Get Licensed are proud to provide you with a ‘Faster Results’ service for selected courses and locations. Same Day Results are usually available for APLH Virtual Classes.

Otherwise, expect to receive your results within 5 working days after your course is completed. Our aim is to notify you on the same day the training provider sends us your results.

Your results will be available online and we’ll also send you an SMS to inform you when your results are available.

No. If you're arranging a temporary event, such a festival, and there'll be alcohol sold and regulated entertainment happening, you need to apply for a Temporary Event Notice (also commonly referred to as a TEN).
