Scottish Personal Licence Training (SCPLH)

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.
