Bar work in the UK do i need a licence?

We get lots of enquirers about students coming to the UK that want to do some part time bar work to help boost their income. The most common question we get asked is do they require any licence?

The simple fact is no, however if you hold a personal licence you will find it easier to obtain work! Most employers will like the fact that you hold a personal licence as this means you know and understand English licensing law. In Scotland however you do require some mandatory licence training, as Scottish law states any person who works part time or full time requires a minimum of at least two hours training on Scottish licensing law.

For more information on this take a look at www.personallicencescotland.com the section you need to look at is staff training. Our online SCLPS course will teach you all you need to know about working behind a bar or sales counter in Scotland. View demo
