Hi there, i dont know if i have posted in the right part of the forum

But does anyone have any idea of how much it would cost for an alcohol license and what is involved in the procedure to get one?

Thank you

    you can do a course at a local college which is usually a few evenings of 2-3 hours and is 3 or 4 times then you take a really easy test.

    Or you can do a one day course. Mine took around 5 hours including lunch because there were only a few of us on the course.
    Nice to save.

    It costs about £100 to get the qualification and then you will have to apply to your local council to get your actual licence -I'm not sure how much that costs.
    Why does nobody say Thank You anymore??:mad:

    got mine last year, at brighton college, 1 day course cost £153 and then to get a licence from the local council you must pass a CRB check about £20 and then about another £20 for the actual licence.
    Its called the BIIAB Level 2 national certificate for personal licence holders.
    So glad I did it pay on my part time job went up by £1 per hour and got an extra shift a week, and have the opportunity to use it running bars in future and for gigs on and off which pays good money!




    £5000 debt cleared thanks to MSE advice :money:

    Thanks all for the advise and input. For delivering alcohol only, would you still need a premisis licence? Is that compulsary?

    preciousb, have a look at your local authority website as I believe rules and regs can be slightly different for different areas. They will probably have a breakdown of what's involved with personal licences, and when you would/wouldn't need a premises licence. If they don't, give someone in the licensing department a call, I've always found our one to be really helpful.
    Scar tissue that I wish you saw, sarcastic mister know it all, close your eyes and I'll kiss you cause with the birds I'll share this lonely view.
