Refresher Training Information
The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 specifies that in Scotland, the holder of a personal licence must undergo refresher training within 5 years of the date of issue of their personal licence to ensure their licence remains valid; and every personal licence holder will be required to produce a certificate to the licensing board that originally issued their personal licence as evidence that they have passed the Scottish Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (Refresher) (SCPLHR).
Personal licence holders who obtained their personal licence after 1st September 2009 will have until 5 years prior to its expiry date to complete refresher training, and a further 3 months to notify the board. For example, if a personal licence was issued on 1st June 2012, then the training must be carried out or completed by 31st May 2017 and Notification submitted to the board by 31st August 2017 at the very latest.
If personal licence holders do not submit evidence of passing the SCPLH(R) to their licensing board before the deadline, their personal licences will be revoked.
