The British Institute of Innkeepers has its own qualifications and awards body to ensure professional standards within the British licensed trade. That body is the British Institute Of Innkeepers Award Body or BIIAB. The British Institute of Innkeepers is also the industry's professional body for those working in this country's retail licensed industry. The BIIAB are responsible for providing may of the awards in the licensed drink industry, including the Customer Service and Drinks Certificate and Professional Barpersons Qualification.
Training courses by the BIIAB are run through a series of independent training centres throughout the country. Each of the 600 centres in the training network is BIIAB accredited.
The National Certificate For Personal Licence Holders (NCPLH) is one of the most important qualifications issued by the BIIAB. The NCPLH is an especially important award for those wishing to enter the licensed trade as the 2003 Licensing Reform Act demanded all those who authorise the sale of alcoholic drinks to the public must hold a recognised qualification. Without such a qualification no one can be licensed to to legally sell alcohol to the general public throughout the United Kingdom.
The NCPLH takes only a day to complete, but there is an examination to pass before anyone can acquire it. Naturally, the course is wide ranging and includes the law and legal responsibilities of the prospective license holders. Also covered is not only the law relating to licensed premises and the licensee, but the prevention of the sale of alcohol to minors and other prohibited groups.
Another important area of the NCPLH training course is the highlighting of unlicensed activities and the powers that the police possess in being able to close licensed premises. Knowing the ins and out's of these regulations are essential for anyone looking to become a personal licence holder.
On completion of NCPLH training and after having passed the course examination, the successful candidate will be able to apply for a personal license, though the BIIAB does offer several other courses that he may want, or even be required, to study. An example is the training and licensing of door staff which is now compulsory. And the BIIAB, backed by the police and local authorities, run these courses.
BIIAB training is essential in today's licensing trade. The sale of alcohol is a hugely responsible undertaking and it is crucial that before anyone enters the licensed industry they fully are fully knowledgeable of the laws surrounding the sale of alcoholic drink. - 30544
