National Certificate For Personal Licence Holders (NCPLH)

Who needs the BIIAB (British Institute of Innkeepers Awarding Body) NCPLH (National certificate for Personal Licence Holders) ?

Licensing law in England and Wales states that anyone who authorises the sale of alcohol to the public must hold a personal licence.

Those who wish to obtain a personal licence need to apply to their local authority.

Applicants will be asked for a number of things to support their application; these will include proof that they hold a licensing qualification such as the BIIAB NCPLH .

Everything you need to know to apply for a personal licence

You can rest assured that the BIIAB NCPLH covers everything you need to know to pass the qualification's examination and apply for your personal licence. What's more, it's been developed and rigorously piloted with experts from the industry to make sure it truly meets the needs of those who want to succeed.

The BIIAB NCPLH covers the syllabus set by government to enable candidates to understand the law in relation to:

the roles, responsibilities and functions of licensing authorities within the framework of the licensing objectives
the application process for a personal licence
the role and legal responsibilities of the personal licence holder, and the penalties relating to failure to comply with the law
the premises licence
the content and purpose of operating schedules
the role and duties of the designated premises supervisor
unauthorised and temporary licensable activities
rights of entry to licensed premises
police powers with regard to suspension and closure of licensed premises
the specific prohibitions for the sale of alcohol
the strengths of alcoholic drinks, and the effects of alcohol on the human body
the protection of children from harm
the responsible retail sale of alcohol.

How long does it take?

Training for the BIIAB NCPLH can be finished in one day and is offered by BIIAB approved centres. The training is usually followed on the same day by one short multiple-choice exam with 40 questions. Training is supported by the BIIAB NCPLH handbook. This handbook is written in an easy-to-follow and contains all the information needed to pass the exam.

All questions test the knowledge of the person taking the exam. The exam covers all aspects of the law and social responsibilities in relation to the sale of alcohol to the public. By always containing questions relating to the licensing objectives and social responsibilities, the BIIAB NCPLH has the added advantage of acting as a safeguard for the candidate’s personal licence* and their business.

Longer tuition and self-study options are also available and candidates can also chose to take the exam on-line. These options are available through BIIAB training centres.
