Thinking about getting your personal licence but not sure where to start? You are not alone. Most people who reach out to us have the same two questions: how much will it cost, and how hard is the exam. Good news, it is simpler than you think, and we are going to break it all down for you here.
We get asked about the Personal Licence Course Cost almost every single day, and honestly, it surprises people how affordable it is. Our online exam sits at £75 + VAT, and that includes instant results plus unlimited resits. So if you do not pass the first time round, you will not be paying twice.
What a Personal Licence Actually Does
A personal licence is what allows someone to authorise the sale of alcohol at a licensed premises. You do not need one just to work behind the bar. But every venue needs at least one person holding this licence to sign off on sales. It sounds small, but it comes with real responsibility, which is exactly why the exam exists in the first place.
What Makes Up the Personal Licence Course Cost
We like keeping things straightforward, no small print, no surprise add-ons. Here is what your fee actually covers:
● Online exam fee of £75 + VAT
● As many resits as you need, free of charge
● Instant results, no waiting days for an email
● Zoom sessions every hour, so you can fit it around work or life
That is genuinely it. What we quote is what you pay.
Getting Through the Personal Licence Application
Passing the exam is really just step one. After that, you will need to sort your Personal Licence Application with your local council. This usually means sending across a DBS check, a couple of passport photos, and a few other bits of paperwork.
We know this part can feel like a bit of a maze, so here is roughly how it goes:
- Sit and pass your online exam with us
- Pull together your supporting documents
- Send off your Personal Licence Application to the council
- Sit tight for a few weeks while it gets processed
If any of that feels confusing or you just want a second pair of eyes on it, we are always happy to help talk you through it.
