Scottish Licensing Exam

Posted in Uncategorized on April 11th, 2007 by admin – Comments

Today I attended my head office for an exam, which is required by all supervisors since our shops are off-sales. I was absolutely dreading it, for no reason other than I hate exams. Don’t get me wrong, I did great with my school exams but I hate the thought of being tested. The day started at 10am and we did a lot of writing, going over obvious things like trading hours that Scottish shops with a license are allowed to sell alcohol (8am-10pm Mon-Sat, 12.30-10pm Sunday if you’re interested) which we all knew anyway, but then it got into the more un-obvious stuff. Anyway, we sat the exam at 3.30pm and I was finished it for 3.40pm. I swear, it was only 25 questions like

‘What technique is not advised by the board to prevent crime in an off-sale?’

  1. Teach all staff martial arts
  2. Install CCTV
  3. Ensure all windows have shutters
  4. Install an alarm system

I mean, come on! I’d to get 19 out of 25 so I hope that I passed! I’ll find out next week, so here’s hoping.
