The Knowledge to succeed
Melrose Pubcare are a well established training provider, fully accredited by the BIIAB. Our training centre in Thornbury is comfortable, well equipped and conveniently located just off the M5 North of Bristol.
Our trainers are fully qualified but also have a wealth of hands-on practical experience in the subject matter. As licensing practitioners we can give practical help and advice based on our hundreds of applications for personal and premises licences across dozens of Local Authorities nationwide.
We believe well trained management and staff are better motivated and more able to drive any business forward.
The following courses are run on a regular monthly basis:-
National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders - BIIAB Level 2
Under the Licensing Act 2003 anyone selling or authorising the sale of alcohol has to hold a personal licence. In order to qualify for a personal licence an applicant must first hold a licensing qualification which is:-
Qualification and Curriculum Authority accredited and Government approved.
The BIIAB Level 2 National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders satisfies both criteria and has been specifically designed to meet the statutory requirements of the Licensing Act 2003.
At the monthly courses held at our training centre in Thornbury, we have to date helped over two thousand candidates through the N.C.P.L.H. and before that its predecessor the N.C.L. To save time we hold the qualifying examination on the same day and our pass rate is well above the national average.
Award in Beer and Cellar Management (A.B.C.Q.) - BIIAB Award
This course is informative, hands on, fun and free from brewery bias.The qualification is aimed at those working with beer in a bar or cellar environment.It aims to ensure that beer is consistently served in top condition thereby increasing sales and reducing wastage. We also cover bar hygiene, glassware, line cleaning,dispense systems and cellar safety.
We are fortunate in having available our own free house ‘The Star' with its excellent cellar and training facilities. Again this is located just off the M5.
