Course Overview
Planning to work as a duty manager in charge of liquor sales? Licensing laws have recently changed – complete this essential short course to make sure you comply!
With a range of start dates throughout the year, this popular seminar develops a working knowledge of the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 and acts as a vital pathway to the Licence Controller Qualification and the General Manager’s Certificate. This is an intense three-day course that comprehensively covers government legislations on the sale and supply of liquor and you will need a good level of comprehension to succeed.
You'll be taught via blended delivery, attending three afternoon classes at our Windermere campus and sitting a 90 minute exam on the final day. Online tests are available to students wishing to check their knowledge prior to the exam.
It is a mandatory course for anyone who wants to work as a duty manager in charge of a liquor store, supermarket, café, restaurant, nightclub, bar, community or sports club. The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 was fully implemented in December 2013, replacing the Sale of Liquor Act 1989. The effects of these changes are fully explained during this seminar.

- NZQA credit for unit standards 4646 and 16705
