You could also call this:

"How to apply for a manager's certificate to be in charge of a place that sells alcohol"

When you apply for a manager's certificate, you must do a few things. You must apply in your own name, so the certificate is in your name if it is granted. You must also use the correct form and follow the right steps, include all the necessary information, and pay the required fee.

You need to file your application with a specific licensing committee. If you want to be the manager of a particular licensed premises, you file your application with the committee that handled the licence application for those premises. If not, you file your application with the committee for the area where you live.

Your application will be looked at according to the rules, which you can compare to the rules in section 118 to see how they are similar or different.
