All
you need to know about a personal licence and
the
National
Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (NCPLH)
What
is a Personal Licence?
A
personal licence allows an individual to authorise the
sale or supply or alcohol under the Licensing Act
2003. Since November 2005, all alcohol-serving
premises with a premises licence now need one personal
licence holder attached to the premises licence.
It
is wise to have a couple of personal licence holders
just in case of any unforeseen events etc. one of whom
will be named on the premises licence as the
Designated Premises Supervisor (DPS). Every sale of
alcohol under the premises licence must be authorised
by the Designated Premises Supervisor, or by another
person who holds a personal licence. It is a good idea
to have more than one personal licence holder on your
premises licence to cover things such as sickness,
holidays and days off.
We
recommend that most premises should have at least two
personal licence holders assigned to anyone premises.
Remember only one personal licence holder can be the
(DPS) Designated Premises Supervisor. Tp become the
(DPS) on a premises licence you will need to consent
in writing as you will become the main point of
contact to the local authorities for those premises.

Wales.
Do
I need a qualification to be a personal licence
holder?

personal licence holders course.

licence holder named on the premises licence (not
