Background

The Certificate of Higher Education in Licensing Law and Practice was developed in conjunction with the Licensing Department of Westminster City Council, and with guidance from the Institute of Licensing (IoL). It has been designed to be of particular relevance to staff working within local government with responsibilities for various aspects of licensing, or those working, or seeking to develop expertise, in licensing practice.

 Successful completion of the course has been identified by the Institute of Licensing as fulfilling their membership criteria (subject to payment of membership fee).

 Course Content

The Certificate of Higher Education in Licensing Law and Practice successfully launched during the 2008-9 academic year.   Ably led by the Course Leader Alex Sinclair, the course has benefited immensely from practical input from licensing experts who have contributed to the course. These have included Philip Doyle, formerly of Westminster Council, and also Joe Cannon, Philip Kolvin and colleagues from 2-3 Gray’s Inn Square.

In addition to the Licensing Act and the Gambling Act students will be able to examine important recent developments in licensing law. The course will include an introduction to taxi licensing in the first year and one module on this important aspect of licensing in the second year. The module will aim to ensure that students understand the basis of the law but also those important connections to other branches of licensing. For students who wish to take the subject further, there will be an opportunity for study in greater depth as part of a supervised essay in the second semester of the course.

The course is designed to run over two years with students expected to be available on Wednesday late afternoons for teaching.  We are currently accepting applications for October 2008 entry, and more details about the course are available from the admissions officer, Philip Niland, telephone 0207 911 5000 x 2389.

 The course has a start date each October.  Further information about the course can be obtained from the university web site at  http://www.wmin.ac.uk/ ."
