Training for Licensed Trade and Leisure Industry

The BII run a number of training courses to assist those in these areas, but what if you don’t want to apply for your personal licence and just want a quick introduction to this area of Law?

We have designed training sessions for all involved in the Leisure industry to give those attending a solid basis and understanding of how the law fits in with day to day aspects of training.

The area is complex but we endeavour to simplify wherever possible.

Courses can be run at a time and venue to suit yourselves or we can find a suitable venue if needed. Included are full documentation and support packs. Many involve interactive sessions and can be tailored to your specific requirements.

Often courses are run at weekends or evenings to fit in with your bar staff duties and committee meetings.
