The BIIAB Level 2 NCDPS was developed in conjunction with local government, the police and the industry, to support the new post of designated premises supervisor created by the Licensing Act 2003.

It is designed to provide designated premises supervisors with an understanding of their role and the responsibilities both within the Licensing Act 2003, and other regulatory issues in addition to those covered in the Act. The qualification also addresses the practical day-to-day issues involved in running a licensed premises.

The BIIAB Level 2 NCDPS is a nationally recognised qualification for both existing designated premises supervisors, and those who may be required to take up this post in the future, working in any type of licensed premises.

The BIIAB Level 2 NCDPS covers the following topics:
• the roles and responsibilities of the designated premises supervisor
• the licensable activities carried out in licensed premises
• the requirements of legislation and best practice to support the four licensing objectives
• how to conduct a risk assessment, and how it is used to underpin the operating schedule
• the relationship between the operating schedule and management controls

Candidates should have achieved the BIIAB Level 2 NCPLH, or possess equivalent knowledge prior to taking the BIIAB Level 2 NCDPS.  The BIIAB Level 2 NCDPS has been designed to be deliverable in one day (although longer tuition or self-study options may be available) followed by a short multiple-choice examination.

A comprehensive handbook presented in an easy-to-follow format, supports the qualification and covers all the information needed for the examination
