The eLearning course Award for Licensed Premises Staff (ALPS) is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the laws and responsibilities surrounding the sale of alcohol. The course covers the fundamentals of licensing law, including the types of licences required, licensable activities and the core licensing objectives. Participants will learn the significance of responsible retailing, emphasising the importance of not selling alcohol to underage customers or those who are intoxicated. Key learning outcomes include an understanding of the Licensing Act, the ability to authorise alcohol sales, the identification of signs of over-consumption and best practices for resolving conflicts. Additionally, learners will grasp the effects of alcohol on the human body, methods for calculating alcohol units, and the importance of a robust age verification policy. The course also addresses the mandatory conditions for the sale of alcohol, the penalties for non-compliance and the recognition of alcohol-related crime on licensed premises. This training is essential for staff working in licensed premises, equipping them with the knowledge to sell alcohol lawfully and responsibly. Learners are assessed at the end of the course and must achieve a minimum pass mark. Individual licences must be used within a 12 month period.
