Why take the Level 3 DPS course?
A designated premises supervisor (DPS) is legally accountable for licensable activities, so it is vitally important that they thoroughly understand their responsibilities. Non-compliance with licensing laws can lead to large fines and even imprisonment.
The Level 3 course is more in-depth than the APLH and focuses specifically on the responsibilities, legal obligations and best practices associated with the DPS role.
Whether you are a DPS or a personal licence holder who would like to improve your career prospects, Innpacked’s Level 3 DPS Award for Designated Premises Supervisors will provide you with all the skills and knowledge you need.
