CPL Training to deliver free training course – sponsored by SABMiller

Monday, 15 August 2016

CPL Training, the UK’s leading provider of licensed retail and hospitality training, is set to deliver a free training course that will see individuals gain the Award in Responsible Alcohol Retailing (ARAR). Sponsored by the world’s second largest brewer – SABMiller – the aim of the training initiative is to spread knowledge and awareness regarding the responsible sale and consumption of alcohol. The ARAR course will be available in CPL’s training centres across Liverpool, Wirral and Manchester, from the beginning of September 2016 to the end of January 2017.

SABMiller has pledged to train 10,000 individuals by the end of 2016 as part of their Scholars programme. As part of the eligibility requirements, learners must be aged 18 or older and have been employed within the licensed retail sector for a minimum of 6-months. The course is available to staff working in tenanted/leased pubs, bars and other types of licensed outlets, with the exception of managed companies.

By studying the main points of licensing law, the ARAR course will allow delegates to develop a clear overview of the responsibilities associated with the retail sale of alcohol, which includes underage sales and serving persons who are drunk. It is an ideal platform for individuals seeking to further their career in the licensed retail and hospitality sector.

Daniel Davies, Chief Executive of CPL Training Group, welcomed the programme: “We’re delighted to be delivering the Award in Responsible Alcohol Retailing once again this year. Thanks to sponsors – SABMiller – this training programme is completely free to delegates, promoting awareness surrounding the responsible sale and consumption of alcohol. I’m pleased to announce the ARAR course will be available in Liverpool, Wirral, Manchester, including surrounding areas. We look forward to training the selected delegates at our centres.”
