Benefits of an online personal licence course

It is required by the licensing act of 2003 that anyone who wishes to hold a personal licence in order to sell or authorize transactions of alcohol must qualify the BIIAB level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH). There are various commercial centres delivering all the requirements, specifically APLH course, to fulfil the criteria of enabling one to achieve necessary licence.

In the wake of the modern era things have been more simplified for the applicants. People tend to have pretty busy schedules to make time for a full day training at any one of the centres in person. Almost every vendor provides online personal licence course. All you need to do is register yourself, take a day’s training online and appear for the examination. The examination is even arranged by the vendors. The APLH course covers almost everything that one needs to know before he is deemed capable enough to legalise the sale of alcohol. The course makes you knowledgeable about the licensing act, the legalizing authorities, offences related to the sale of alcohol, the power of the police pertaining to this issue, concentrations of alcohols and their effects on health besides making you aware about the abuse of alcohol.

The main objective of the course is to make you competent enough for the industry involved in the retail of consumable liquor. A personal licence holder is much ahead of the others in the field of landing a suitable job in the industry. So, the bottom line is that course and training is very important. But it is highly unlikely that everybody will be able to do the formal training and take the course by being physically present at the training centres. This is where the online personal licence course comes in handy. All you need to have is a computer with an internet connection.

Most of the providers of the service do a great job in putting up a comprehensive and interactive course online. Once you are enrolled and have paid the subscription fees, you gain the access to the particular vendor’s course material on its website. The different modules of the course are at your disposal all of the time. Additionally you are provided with handbooks containing all the information regarding the ALPH course. Online subscribers can also take online mock tests which are readily available on the site itself. These tests, if taken periodically, can boost the confidence of the applicants. You can extend your subscription if the need of more time to learn arises. Often certain vendors allow other benefits such as provisional membership of the British Institute of Innkeeping (BII). The online course costs ranges anywhere between £ 100 and £ 200, depending upon the various services provided by them. It generally includes the personal licence application fee.

Once you are done with the training you are prepared to appear for the ALPH examination. The vendors can arrange the test for you provided they also make arrangements for invigilators during the examination as the law requires it so. The test has 40 MCQs from various portions of the course. If one has done the course seriously, one can easily crack the test.
