Looking for a Personal Licence course in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire or South Wales?

A Personal Licence is a licence needed by anyone who supervises the sale of alcohol by retail in any premises – including pubs, off-licences, restaurants, shops, bars and hotels.

The requirement to have a Personal Licence holder does not apply to qualifying clubs or for events operating under a Temporary Event Notice.

Applications are made to the council for the area in which the applicant lives.  The Licence is valid for life, unless it is suspended, surrendered or forfeited, and will move with the holder from one premises to another, allowing greater flexibility.  The issuing council will be responsible for continuing to issue this licence even if the holder moves away from the area. Personal Licence holders must inform the issuing council of any changes of name or address.

There are various duties on holders of personal licences, and the court can forfeit their licence if they are convicted of various offences.

You must have a Personal Licence:

• to sell or supply alcohol at a licensed premises
• if you are the designated premises supervisor (DPS) at a licensed premises

A designated premises supervisor (DPS) is the person who has day-to-day responsibility for the running of the business.
