NCPLH qualification to be re-named
From our Company news letter July 29th, 2010
From the 1st August 2010, the NCPLH licensing qualification will be renamed the Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH). The change comes as a result of a strategy to simplify qualifications in a new framework.
The APLH will continue to be delivered as a one-day training course with a 40 question multiple-choice exam at the end of the days training..
Changes to policy designed to simplify qualifications resulted in the creation of 'OFQUAL' as the qualifications regulator, and a new Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) to replace National Database of Accredited Qualifications.
Once again personal licence training tries to stay ahead of the competition; we are currently developing a new series of websites and blogs to provide delegates up-dated information on the new (APLH) Personal Licence Holders Level 2 Award.
We also understand that some of the multiple choice questions from awarding bodies such as EDI have been up-dated and the terminology of the questions have been simplified. This should help candidate who struggle with English.
Personal licence training in conjunction with it’s training partners and associates will continue to offer over 100 courses for the new APLH licensing qualification throughout England & Wales. The licensing qualification for Scotland will remain unchanged.
Our APLH personal licence holders course book and training course content is also set to be updated. To help avoid unauthorised sales to minors we have expanded our course contents to include identifying fake identification, how fake i.d cards are obtained and adopting a challenge 25 policy or challenge 21Policy - Which is better for the high street retailer?
We look forward to training more personal licence holder over the coming twelve months.

OFF licenses and pubs in Worcestershire have been found selling alcohol to children
Pubs still selling booze to kids – findings
Out of 34 off licences and 13 pubs visited by the county’s regulatory services team using child volunteers who look their true age, six sales occurred. Two were at off licenses in the Droitwich area while four occurred at two pubs in Redditch and two in Kidderminster.
In each case the sellers did not challenge the volunteers for identification or ask them their age. Investigations are now underway and offenders could be hit with a fine of up to £1,000.
Tracey Blanchard, Worcestershire’s fair trading officer, said it was “very alarming” that nearly a third of the pubs visited sold alcohol to the youngsters. “They should certainly have been challenged and at the very least asked for identification,” she said. “We will be continuing our investigations into underage sales across the county.”
The visits in the Wychavon, Redditch, Wyre Forest and Malvern Hills districts were carried out at premises targeted on the basis of information from the police and local intelligence.
