Licensing Laws - England and Wales
The Licensing Act 2003 requires training for personal licence holders and designated premises supervisors.
Although it is not compulsory in England and Wales as it is in Scotland for all staff to complete staff training before working in licensed premises, it is highly advised for staff to be trained and a Record o Training be kept on premises.
