What is the Scottish Personal Licence training course about?
The Scottish Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (SCPLH) is a nationally recognised training qualification and candidates must have this before they can apply for their personal licence.
This is a Level 5 qualification that will help you advance in your career prospects inside the licensed trade division in Scotland.
Please Note - Scottish law dictates that personal licence holders must undertake refresher training within five years of getting their licence, or they will have their licence revoked.
If you are based in Wales or England you will need to apply for the Personal Licence (APLH)
