BIIAB Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders

Duration: One day

Summary

Licensing law in England and Wales states that anyone who authorises the sale of alcohol to the public must hold a personal licence. Those who wish to obtain a personal licence need to apply to their local authority. Applicants will be asked for a number of things to support their application; these will include proof that they hold a licensing qualification such as the BIIAB Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH).

  • the roles, responsibilities and functions of licensing authorities within the framework of the licensing objectives
