The Award for Personal Licence Holders / APLH to replace the NCPLH

From 1^st April 2011 the BIIAB National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders / NCPLH will be replaced by the BIIAB Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders / APLH.

This is due to the current transition from the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) to the new Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF). The NQF will cease to exist from the 31^st December 2010.

The BIIAB NCPLH is a NQF qualification and will continue to be delivered until the 31^st March 2011 and qualifications awarded before that date will remain valid as a prescribed qualification for people wishing to apply to their local authority for a personal licence.

Any applicant for a personal licence under the Licensing Act 2003 who has a certificate for the BIIAB Level 2 National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders dated up to and including 31st March 2011 is in possession of a valid qualification under the terms of the Act.

When the QCF takes over in January 2011, the name of the prescribed qualification will change to the BIIAB Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (from April 2011).  The content of the qualification will remain the same and will be approved by the Home Office.
