Alcohol Licence – How do I get one?
A step by step guide. This article is intended as a guide and not as a full explanation of alcohol licensing law. You can get full advice from the team at Personal Licence Training Ltd (Tel 0845 388 5472).
Contact your local Council Licensing department and request forms. Most councils will have a pack they can send with information to help you through the process. You need:
Application for a Premises Licence
Consent of a Premises Supervisor
Declaration
Certificate of Posting of Public Notice and the Public Notices (Notice of Application for Grant of premises licence)
You will need at least one Personal Licence Holder. They must be over 18 and be responsible with no relevant convictions. They have to be licensed with the local council in the area they live in. If there is no Personal Licence holder (for example if they leave your employ) you cannot sell alcohol so chose someone permanent or a couple of people. Contact their local council for the application forms Disclosure of Convictions and Application for a Personal Licence.
The Personal Licence Holder will need an APLH certificate (formally NCPLH) for England, and Wales or a SCPLH certificate for Scotland – (find a local course here). The course also covers the application process – which is really helpful. There’s a multi-choice exam at the end and results available within a week. Re-sits can be done easily without re-sitting the whole course. You can contact Personal Licence Training Ltd for more information. An online mock exam can be found here.
Form DP1 available from the Police. You will get a certificate back which will confirm that you do or don’t have convictions. (Alternatively you can ask the team at Personal Licence Training Ltd to do this for you)
You will need to supply two forms of identification with your request for the Police check. You will need two passport type photos for your Personal Licence. They will need certifying as a true likeness of you on the back by someone of standing as with a passport application. The Personal Licence Application will state exactly what is required.
Once you’ve collected all the info you need you can complete and send off your Personal Licence Application.
You need to mark the plans with fire escapes, toilets, kitchens and other relevant information as directed by the Premises License application form. If you don’t have plans you may have to contact your landlord who may charge you for this.
It’s a long form but not as bad as it looks. Photocopy the form first so that if you make a lot of mistakes you’ve got a spare copy. The main areas covered are business and people information, activities you want to do, opening times, how you operate (see the next step) and how you meet the four licensing objectives.
Protection of Children From Harm
Public Nuisance
Prevention of Crime and Disorder
Public safety
This section is best done on a separate document and attached to your application – you can then make corrections and change it without redoing the whole application. You need to simply spell out how your shop operates and how you will ensure that you meet the four licensing objectives (above), cover things like number of staff, training, age checks, security, health and safety
All premises must have a Premises Supervisor, who is also a Personal Licence Holder. They will be first point of contact if there’s any trouble. Once they’ve got their Personal Licence, they will need to complete the Consent of a Premises Supervisor form to show they agree to be nominated for the role. This form is sent off with the Premises Licence.
Talk to the Personal Licence Training Ltd Team about any points you are unsure about. Are there other licensed shops in the area who could read through your application for you or even the tutors from the licensing course?
You need to post copies of your application to a wide number of authorities to give them chance to object: Your local Police, Fire, Environmental Health, Planning, Social Services, Health & Safety Executive, Trading Standards are a good start. Your application pack will probably give you guidance and may even give you their addresses.
You need to put an advert in the local paper to announce you are applying for a Licence. Wording for the advert is usually provided with your application forms. Time your advert to be in the paper a few days (but no more than ten) after you post the application off.
Make sure you include everything – there’s usually a checklist. Cost is dependent on the rateable value of your business (and extra costs if there are more than 5,000 people on the premises at any time).
Fill in and stick up the Notice of Application for Grant of Premises Licence on a nearby lamp post. This has to stay up 28 days. When you eventually take it down you need to complete the final form and send it in to confirm you’ve had the Notice up.
Your local licensing team may contact you about you application for clarification if needed – but if there’s no objections you’ll be putting your first case of beer on the shelf in a few weeks.
There is an annual fee to pay to keep your licence.
These last for ten years – you will need to ensure that they are renewed at this time.

Should staff training for the sale of alcohol be compulsory?
Today's Big Question ????
In England and Wales, should staff training for the sale of alcohol be compulsory ? In Scotland under the 2005 licensing Act it more or less is! The law in Scotland states anyone working part time, full time
paid or un-paid, behind a bar or retail sales counter must have a minimal of two hours training on the 16 criteria under the Licensing Act (2005) Scotland.
In Australia and in most US states responsible alcohol training for staff is compulsory!
Local Councils are set to review their statements of licensing policy in January 2011. I wonder how many will add conditions about staff training? Will this help reduce un-authorised sales to individuals under the age of 18?
What do you think????? comments please

APLH personal licence holder re-named from NCPLH
NCPLH qualification to be re-named
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.
