Licensing Law Awareness Training Course

Our Licensing Law Awareness Training Course is an online course that looks at the Licensing Act 2003 in detail and explains how you can achieve its objectives. You may decide you need to obtain a APLH (Award for Personal Licence Holders) which is a qualification that Virtual College do not currently offer and can take several days to complete.

Once you have received your (APLH) Personal Licence qualification you will need to apply to a council for your Personal Licence. This will depend on the individual council but typically this takes four weeks however it can take as long as two months.

APLH training stands for Award for Personal Licence Holders. You or a member of your staff must hold a personal licence if you sell alcohol from licensed premises, so that every sale or supply of alcohol is authorised by a licence holder. The training will provide a clear understanding of the framework of the law and regulation, licensing objectives, licensing authorities and personal and premises licences.

This online course consists of a series of pages in which an instructor will talk learners through the lesson material. Pages may include supporting pictures, graphs, animation or extra sounds to help with the learning where appropriate. Some lessons will include challenges/quizzes to help learners stay engaged and interested in the material. Lessons can be taken in any order and each lesson may be paused and resumed at any stage.

The course is self-paced so learners decide how fast or slow the training goes. There is no deadline for completion but some of our courses have a test at the end to check that learners have understood the material. If the course has a test at the end then learners are required to achieve a 75% pass mark to successfully complete the course. Once learners have passed the test they are awarded a certificate, which can either be downloaded digitally or sent as a physical copy if this option was chosen when purchasing the course.

Upon completion of any of our courses, learners will be able to download a digital certificate from Virtual College and will include the accrediting bodies logo where applicable.

If you have bought the posted certificate option (available on select courses), a high quality, seal embossed, certificate will be sent out at the beginning of the following working week.
