Course contents
This training course is broken down into 3 sections
- 1 The Licensing Act and its aims
- 2 Age Verification Process
- 3 Best Practice Working
SECTION 1
The Licensing Act has four aims. Organisations which sell alcohol have a responsibility to uphold these aims. Here we look at what these aims are and suggest a variety of ways to achieve them.
SECTION 2
All places that sell alcohol must, by law, have an age verification process. It's a mandatory licensing condition. It's about asking for ID, knowing what ID is acceptable and being able to recognise fake ID. And it's about having the confidence to refuse to serve someone.
SECTION 3
This section explains the mandatory licensing conditions. It looks at ILLEGAL activities, such as smoking on the premises and drugs on the premises. It explains right of entry. It looks at how alcohol may affect customers and suggests ways to promote responsible drinking.
About this course
Alcohol can be a big problem - It's responsible for thousands of accidents and incidents every year in the UK - road accidents, violent crimes, acts of domestic violence and accidents both at home and at work; and it's responsible for a fifth of all suicides.
It's clear why the sale and supply of alcohol must be controlled and why alcohol licensing laws are necessary.
This course is for anyone who sells or serves alcohol. This could be from licensed premises, club premises or at temporary events. It's all about staying within the law when selling or serving alcohol.
It looks at public safety, protecting children and it covers the importance of preventing crime, violence, disorder and nuisance behaviour. It also includes a step-by-step guide on checking identification.
Minimise the likelihood of incidents happening in your licensed premises, keep your employees safe and make sure they are equipped with the knowledge to effectively deal with any incidents that might occur as a result of alcohol or drug use with iHASCO's Bar Staff Training programme.
People working in licensed premises may also find our drug and alcohol awareness training useful.

Why is this training important?
Compliance
It's important that you comply with the law and know the ways in which it affects you and the way you work.
The Licensing Act 2003 has four aims. Organisations which sell alcohol have a responsibility to uphold these aims.
The four aims are:
- To prevent crime and disorder
- To promote public safety
- To prevent public nuisance
- To protect children from harm
Unaccompanied children prohibited from certain premises
(1) A person to whom subsection (3) applies commits an offence if—
(a) Knowing that relevant premises are within subsection (4), he allows an unaccompanied child to be on the premises at a time when they are open for the purposes of being used for the supply of alcohol for consumption there, or
(b) He allows an unaccompanied child to be on relevant premises at a time between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. when the premises are open for the purposes of being used for the supply of alcohol for consumption there.
