Scottish Personal Licence Refresher Course (SCPLH-R)
Scottish law requires a personal licence holder to do a refresher training course within five years of having received the licence, or else their licence gets revoked. The refresher is a ½ day course with an online accredited examination sat at the end with Highfield. Successful completion of this examination leads to the issuance of the Highfield Level 6 Scottish Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (Refresher) certificate. The course needs to be completed before the 5 year deadline comes to an end, and the accredited certificate must be submitted to the relevant licensing authority at least 3 months before the end of the 5 year period. This course can also be used as a refresher.
Licencing councils send out a notification to all personal licence holders 3 months prior to the 5 year deadline, but if you do not receive the reminder, you are not excused from the refresher course requirement. Therefore, it is important that you update the licencing board about any address change within one month of moving. If you want to find out when your personal licence is going to expire, visit www.scplh.info and use their online calculator to calculate the expiration date.
