In United Kingdom specifically in England and Wales, alcohol premises must be licensed by a local authority to sell alcohol beverages. The one who is responsible for the premises(owners or managers or employees) must hold a personal license. To get this type of license, you must take the National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders or NCPLH course online or in an approved and accredited licensing school.
