Scottish Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (Refresher) at SCQF Level 6
Summary
The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 requires all personal license holders to undertake refresher alcohol training within 5 years of the issue of their personal license. All Scottish personal license holders must attend a 1/2 day update course, sit and pass an exam before the 5 year anniversary of the issue of the license. They must also submit evidence that the training has been passed to the relevant licensing board within 3 months of the 5 year anniversary.
Failure to ensure this training is done could be fatal to your business. You cannot be named as a premises manager or train staff unless you hold a valid personal license. Premises open after 1.00 am must have a personal license holder present at all times as a condition of the premises license.
Licensing Boards will send out notification to all personal license holders 3 months before the 5th anniversary of the issue of your personal license but not receiving this reminder does not excuse license holders from meeting these requirements. The success of this notification depends on whether they have your correct name and address. If you have moved house or changed your name you must advise the licensing board that issued your license within one month.
