LCQ

What is the LCQ?

The Licence Controller Qualification (LCQ) is the “Prescribed Qualification” which is required to demonstrate that those applying for or renewing their General Manager's Certificate have received “Recent and Relevant Training” as set out in the 1999 Sale of Liquor Act Amendment.

The LCQ encompasses two Unit Standards:

• 4646 – Demonstrate knowledge of the Sale of Liquor Act 1989 and its implications for licensed premises
• 16705 – Demonstrate knowledge of host responsibility requirements as a duty manager of licensed premises

The District Licensing Agency (DLA) which is the Liquor Licensing division of your local City Council requires all applicants applying for or renewing their General Manager's (GM) Certificate to hold this qualification.
