Personal Licensing

Personal licensing training is essential for individuals working in licensed premises, such as pubs, bars, and clubs, to ensure compliance with UK alcohol licensing laws and promote responsible retailing. Under the Licensing Act 2003, anyone authorising the sale of alcohol must hold a valid personal licence, which requires accredited training on legal duties, age verification, preventing crime and disorder, and safeguarding public safety. This training helps licence holders understand their responsibilities, avoid penalties (e.g., fines or licence revocation), and uphold the licensing objectives—particularly protecting children from harm and reducing alcohol-related crime. By equipping staff with knowledge of underage sales, intoxication management, and due diligence, businesses can operate legally, minimise risks, and maintain a safe environment for customers and communities.
