This is the official qualification required by local councils for anyone in England and Wales applying for a Personal Licence to serve or sell alcoholic drinks. This delivers the complete training package of online study, practice questions, an invigilated assessment and an official certificate to those that pass this qualification. The certificate can then be supplied to your local council as part of your Personal Licence application.
Applying for your Personal Licence
You need to apply for a licence from the local council in the country where you live. You may need an address in that country in order to receive the licence. The application requires that you have the "Personal Licence Holder Level 2 Award" qualification.
