Do I need a Personal Licence?
It is a legal requirement to hold a Personal Licence if you are authorising the sale of alcohol.
This requirement applies to the retail sale of alcohol in:
Pubs
Bars
Restaurants
Hotels
Off-licences
Supermarkets and convenience stores
Sports and social clubs
Nightclubs
Casinos
Leisure centres and ALL other premises from which alcohol is retailed.

Book your NCPLH course in London and Derbyshire.

The NCPLH is linked to the holder and not the premises, it can therefore be used in any premises licensed to sell alcohol throughout England and Wales.

It is also a requirement for each premises where alcohol is sold to have a DPS (Designated Premises Supervisor).  To become a DPS a person has to hold a Personal Licence and thus be qualified with the NCPLH.

The NCPLH can also act as a safeguard for the premises licence, as it strengthens the defence of due diligence should a prosecution occur. Holding the NCPLH may show that due diligence has been taken by the premises. This is because candidates holding the NCPLH have demonstrated that they are familiar with the law on core licensing issues in order to pass the examination.
