About this course

Selling age-restricted products comes with serious legal responsibilities. Whether your team works in retail, hospitality or delivery, getting age verification wrong can lead to fines, licence reviews, reputational damage and even criminal prosecution.

Age Verification training is designed for anyone working in licensed premises or selling age-restricted products, including alcohol, tobacco, vapes, knives and lottery tickets. It’s particularly suited to businesses in the retail and hospitality sectors, as well as organisations offering online and delivery sales.

The course explains the legal framework behind age verification, including the Licensing Act and the responsibilities of premises licence holders and designated premises supervisors. It walks learners through Challenge 25, acceptable forms of ID, spotting fake or borrowed identification, and managing refusals confidently and safely.

Importantly, it also covers conflict de-escalation and how to deal with aggressive customers, by making sure that your team knows how to prioritise their own safety while remaining professional and compliant.

Why is this training important?

Renewals and upselling are critical moments in the customer journey, but they’re often where relationships can feel strained if handled poorly. When these conversations are rushed, overly sales-driven or poorly timed, customers may feel pressured rather than supported, increasing the risk of churn and missed opportunities.

This training helps employees reframe renewals and upselling as part of ongoing customer success, not one-off transactions. Learners develop the confidence to hold regular, value-led conversations that focus on customer goals, progress and outcomes. By understanding how to align offerings with changing needs, teams can introduce renewals and upsells naturally and at the right moment.

The course also equips employees to handle objections calmly and constructively, making sure that concerns are addressed without damaging trust. By learning how to measure success beyond revenue alone, organisations can build longer-lasting relationships, improve retention, and create growth that feels beneficial on both sides. The result is a more consistent, professional customer experience where renewals and upselling feel like a logical next step, not a hard sell.
