Why do I need Scottish Personal Licence Refresher Training?

Personal licence holders must undergo refresher training every 5 years. This is to ensure that they have up-to-date knowledge of the area and following protocols as set out by the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005.

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. What is a Scottish Personal Licence?

A Personal Licence allows an individual to supervise, or authorise, the sale of alcohol. It is a mandatory condition of a Premises Licence that there should be a Premises Manager, and that they should have a valid Personal Licence.

Q. Why must I take Scottish Personal Licence Refresher Training?

Because it is a legal requirement. The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 requires all personal licence holders to undertake refresher training within 5 years of the issue of their licence.

Q. What will happen if I do not take Scottish Personal Licence Refresher Training?

Failure to ensure this training is done could be fatal to your business as you could lose your Personal Licence. Without a Personal Licence you cannot be named as a premises manager and will not be legally authorised to sell or authorise the sale of alcohol.

What Does The Course Include?

Delegates who attend the Scottish Personal Licence Refresher Training course will go through the roles, responsibilities and functions of Licensing Boards and Licensing Standards Officers. They will also cover the responsible retail sale of alcohol, and the roles and responsibilities of the personal licence holder and the penalties relating to failure to comply with the law.
