Yet another article this morning, on this topic from the Morning Advertiser:

Having sat the exam and passed my Scottish Personal Licence Holders Course, I can confirm it is not a difficult course or exam and if you already work in the licensed trade then it should be even easier. Furthermore depending on the level of your income, you could even get funding of up to £200 which is more than enough to cover the cost of a recognised course provider. It is well worth dealing with now rather than leaving it all too late and if you can get the funding it means investing a day of your time, otherwise, the cost is quite bearable at around £150 per person for the course. Remember also that as long as one person in the organisation holds a Personal Licence, then that person is qualified to train all the other staff too so you don't have to send every single member of staff involved in the sale and supply of alcohol to these courses.
If you are struggling to get on a course, then I can help by carrying out staff training for you - just give me a call for further information. Contact information is available on my website.
