Personal Licence / NCPLH Course

The Licensing Act of 2003 created an integrated system that regulates the sales and supply of alcohol, the provision of entertainment to the public and the provision of late night refreshment.

A personal licence holder must authorise all retail selling of alcohol and all premises must have a Designated Premises Supervisor, holding this licence.

Our qualifications meets the criteria as stipulated by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and is widely recognized across the UK. Rio Training is an accredited training centre for NCFE and Edexcel.
