National Certificate for Licensing Practitioners - NCLP

Course Overview

Under the Licensing Act 2003 a single integrated system was introduced throughout England and Wales regulating the retail sale of alcohol, the supply of alcohol in a club, the provision of certain entertainment and the provision of late night refreshment.
Many of the provisions made in the Act are expanded upon in various Regulations made under the Act.

Under this legislation local authorities in each geographical area in England and Wales are responsible for all forms of alcohol, late night refreshment and entertainment licensing regulated by the Act.
