Who is the qualification for?
The Licensing Act 2003 legislation that was implemented by the Government on November 24th requires that everybody who has the responsibility of selling alcohol, or authorises others to sell alcohol, to the public in England & Wales has to have a Personal Licence that is issued by the Licensing Authority of your Local Council.
In order to obtain this license you have to pass an accredited examination that is accepted by the Secretary of State. This is known as the National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (NCPLH).
