Scottish Certificate for Licensed Premises Staff (SCLPS)
The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 states that all staff who wish to sell or serve alcohol in licensed premises must have received at least 2 hours of training from a person who holds either a personal licence or a relevant licensing qualification accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (Regulatory) (SQA).
The SCLPS has been developed to meet the training specification set by the Scottish Government and can be finished in 2 hours. The training is usually followed on the same day by a short multiple-choice exam.
The SCLPS is designed for anyone who wishes to work in a licensed premises or any venue or site where alcohol is sold, for drinking on or off the premises – in a position where they will sell alcohol to the public.
The SCLPS cover the syllabus set by the Scottish Government to enable candidates to understand the law in relation to:

The guided learning hours for the SCLPS qualification is 2 hours, exclusive of the examination. Guided learning hours are fixed as they have been specified by the Scottish Government. The multiple-choice exam consists of 25 questions.
