This qualification is for those involved in the sale of alcohol in both on-sales and off-sales environments. It has been developed to comply with Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Alcohol etc. (Scotland) Act 2010. These standards are necessary because of changes in the law which makes them part of the licensed trade’s responsibility – i.e. it is a regulatory requirement.
While the main part of the course is delivered over one day (0930-1700 hrs), including candidates undertaking an assessment at the end of the course, those enrolling will be issued with learning materials by post, prior to attendance on the course. The cost of the training is £140 per candidate.
Candidates are expected to study the learning materials prior to coming on the one-day short course, so that they are able to engage fully with the course delivery.
This one-day short course covers three key areas:
- Introduction to licensing
