NCPLHLicensing Law in England & Wales states that anyone who authorises the retail sale of alcohol must hold a personal licence.
Those who wish to obtain a personal licence need to apply to their local authority.
Applicants for a personal licence must first obtain a government approved licensing qualification such as the BIIAB National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (NCPLH).
Inn Confidence provides classes for the BIIAB NCPLH throughout England & Wales. Each class lasts one-day (typically from 9.30am to 4.30pm), involves a thorough training session and is followed by the 40-minute multiple-choice exam.
