Frequently Asked Questions
As per the Licensing Act 2003, anyone who sells alcohol or permits others to sell it on their behalf must hold a Personal Licence.
A Personal Licence costs just £37, but before you can apply, you must complete the one-day personal licence course and obtain a criminal record check. Be sure to account for these additional costs in your budget.
Depending on your local council, it typically takes 2-4 weeks to receive your Personal Licence after you submit your application.
Your personal licence certificate has no expiry date, so once you’ve obtained it, no further training is required. Similarly, once granted by your local council, your personal licence remains valid indefinitely unless surrendered or revoked.
When you complete the online course, your results will be available immediately after the exam. For classroom courses, the time it takes to receive your results may differ by location, but generally, they are also provided instantly.
Your Personal Licence certificate will generally be issued within three working days after you receive your results.
