Our one day courses are the most fun courses to attend to get an LCQ. You really will finish your LCQ in a day. NO HOMEWORK. You’ll get the benefits of having direct interaction with skilled trainers who have industry experience and you’ll meet other people who are, like you, ready to advance their careers in the hospitality industry.

Our one day courses are presented in Wellington, Petone, Wairarapa across Kapiti, Horowhenua, Manawatu, Auckland and Hawkes Bay on a regular basis. We also present courses in other areas.

We offer ZOOM online courses that take 3 hours 9-12 in the morning. You are then sent assessments to complete with learning resources – both standards giving you your LCQ. You can take as much time as you need to complete but we will follow up with you on a regular basis.

If you are an employer and you have a group of people requiring this training then you can contact us. In many cases we can arrange to have a training day in your region or your place of business.

If you are seeking qualifications for yourself and you’re unable to access any of our regular training sessions then we recommend you take advantage of our self-paced training modules. Keep reading to find out more.

We offer self-paced training modules for people who want to attain their LCQ but cannot easily attend a training course at any of our training venues.

We’ll deliver all the course materials you’ll need to learn at your own pace. Full instructions are included and you’ll be able to undertake the learning in your own time. You canorder the LCQ training module here.

If you’re able to attend our one-day training courses at any of our venues then we highly recommend them as the easiest and most effective way for you to train for the LCQ.

LCQ Unit 16705: Demonstrate knowledge of host responsibility requirements as a duty manager of licensed premises.

The LCQ is the qualification required by the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 for anyone who is applying for their General Manager’s Certificate.

If you are wondering who makes these rules and where they’re all set out you’ll find them in theSale & Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. That’s something that you will learn about in your LCQ.

Did you check our short list of requirements for being a Duty Manager?

People who want a Manager’s Certificate must know the regulations. They must be 20, have the right to work in NZ , have a LCQ qualification and they must pass background checks too.

The District Licensing Committee will take your criminal record into account (if you have one) when they decide whether they will approve you. If you are are planning to study for a Manager’s certificate and you have criminal convictions then you should contact the Licensing Inspector at your local council before you begin. You must disclose any convictions you have had; any that are clean slated do not have to be disclosed but that doesn’t mean the Police won’t consider them.

Although anyone over 16 can enroll and be assessed for the LCQ you must be aged 20 or over to apply to the District Licensing Committee for a Manager’s Certificate or to be appointed as an acting or temporary manager.

Once you have completed your LCQ training and gained the qualification, you will then need to apply to the District Licensing Committee for your Managers Certificate.

The District Licensing Committee (DLC) can be found at your local council offices.

Successfully completing our training course and obtaining your Licensed Controller Certificate does not mean that you will be granted a Managers Certificate by the DLC it is just one of the things you need to have to apply to the council.

The application process involves an interview with the Licensing Inspector, and they may test your knowledge on the Sale & Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. The DLC will decide whether you will attain your Managers Certificate based on your behaviour in the interview and your responses to any questions they may ask.

Please note the council charge a fee of $316.25 to apply for a Manager’s certificate. Our course fee does not cover any of those costs.

Contact the Licensing Inspector based at your local council for the requirements to apply for a Manager’s Certificate or look on your council’s website for information.

If you’ve got a criminal record, check with the council to make sure that it’s not going to stand in your way.
