The one-day programme is aimed at all PML holders and members of the board who are responsible for this aspect of business.The course is not company specific and will equip the PML holder with the knowledge required to be able to work in any UK land based casino and be PML ready before internal policies and procedures are a factor.
PML maintenance is generally seen as a renewal of the licence every five years and the assumption that the holder has kept themselves up to date with regulation. This can often be a misplaced confidence and has been seen to be an area that is lacking in the fundamental basic knowledge required by a PML holder. A great deal of time and effort will have been put into training before the application for a PML occurs, however, we need to address the longevity of this training and how to ensure refreshing regularly is imperative. The Gambling Commission have published new guidance which states that operators must appoint a senior executive who holds a personal management licence (PMLs) to oversee their respective scheme - making individuals personally accountable.
Objective of the course: To instil confidence and assurance to the Board (who have recently been pinned for accountability) that their PML holders are fully equipped with the knowledge required to uphold their responsibilities as a PML holder. To instil confidence to PML holders that they have responsibilities, what they are and the need to question when something is not as it should be.
