Pub Training & Licensing

Recognising that effective training is crucial towards running a successful pub business is the first step you need to take.  Most pub companies offer their own in-house induction courses which you will be asked to attend.  However, there are other requirements which will help you get ahead of the game and not miss out on the opportunity for your desired pub.

Getting your Personal Licence

It is the law in the UK that anyone authorising the sale of alcohol to the public must hold a personal licence, and in order to qualify for a personal licence, an applicant must hold a relevant licensing qualification, such as the BIIAB NCPLH (England/ Wales) or SCPLH (Scotland).

FindMyPub.com is proud to work with the Alliance of Quality Licensing Trainings, the UK’s  five largest suppliers of training leading to BIIAB qualifications.
