Why Get Licensed?
Get Licensed offers Personal Licence courses also known as APLH training at over 30 training locations throughout the UK. You have the option to choose from two courses: classroom based training or E-learning training. E-learning training allows you to study at your own pace and in the comfort of your own home.
For those looking to pursue a career in hospitality and the bar industry, the first step is to take an accredited Personal Licence course and acheive a Level 2 Award as a Personal Licence Holder. This course will provide you with the relevant training and accreditation required to legally sell and authorise the sale of alcohol at any licensed premises in England and Wales.
The Personal Licence course, which is better known as the APLH, is a statutory requirement that has been implemented through the 2003 Licensing Act. This is to ensure that people involved in the sale of alcohol do so responsibly, as well as maintain standards to minimise alcohol abuse. When you complete the course, you will be awarded the Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders. This ensures that hospitality workers, bar staff and event managers have attained the necessary skills and qualifications to operate legally, whilst also maintaining a safe environment for their customers, employees and co-workers.

About the Personal Licence course:
One of the key skills that the Personal Licence course (APLH) provides is the ability to understand and implement the requirements of the Licensing Act within the workplace.
The course is also designed to increase the student's knowledge about the effects of alcohol and how alcohol affects different people in various ways. This training provides bar staff with the opportunity to ensure that people are able to enjoy themselves without the risks that excessive alcohol consumption can bring about.
The inclusion of the training requirements within the Licensing Act demonstrates the Government’s dedication to reducing the health consequences of alcohol consumption in the UK. It also provides an avenue for bar staff to gain industry recognised training, which will increase the overall professionalism in the industry.
As part of our commitment to providing accredited and professional training services that exceed industry standards, Get Licensed and its training providers have recently announced the implementation of this training programme. As part of our commitment to this industry, we assure you that our training providers are dedicated to providing top quality training packages tailored to you and your business.
The training provided will ensure that students not only gain the necessary training to meet the needs of the Licensing Act, but they will also have a distinct advantage of personalised training, which will allow them to implement what they have been taught in the workplace.
The Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders is the basic requirement for selling alcohol within a retail environment.
The sale of alcohol without the approved authorisation carries a maximum penalty on conviction of a fine of £20,000 and/or 6 months imprisonment.
