The Scottish Government stipulates all people who hold a Scottish Personal Licence must successfully complete the Scottish Personal Licence Refresher Training Course within 5 years of the Personal Licence issue date to remain valid.
NOTE – This is a half day course aimed at anyone who wishes to continue to sell or authorise the sale of alcohol in Scotland.
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.
A Personal Licence is required by anyone who intends to be named as the designated premises manager of a premises licence issued under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. You or a member of your staff must hold a personal licence if you sell alcohol from licensed premises in Scotland.

"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."
“The whole course was well taught and delivered in a professional manner. My instructor, James Gilles, was very knowledgeable over all subjects covered in the door supervisor and the first aid course. any questions raised were answered immediately and a full explanation given. 10/10 for the whole experience & the support from Get Licensed."
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.
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.
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.
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.
