Course Content

The BIIAB Profitable Business Portfolio is a professional development programme for experienced licensed retailers and key staff who
want to improve their skills. Consisting of 13 units and covering all aspects of running a licensed hospitality operation, the BIIAB Profitable Business Portfolio delivers real business benefits, key to running a successful business.

Each unit is a stand-alone qualification and will be individually certificated.

Each unit has been designed to be completed in one day supported by self-study, and candidates may take any or all units in whatever
order they wish. However, the BIIAB Profitable Business Portfolio is a nationally accredited series of qualifications and on successful
completion of specified units, candidates may achieve the following nationally recognized qualifications:

BIIAB Level 3 Advanced Certificate in Licensed Hospitality

On successful completion of the three core units candidates will achieve the BIIAB Level 3 Advanced Certificate in Licensed Hospitality.

The three core units which lead to the BIIAB Level 3 Advanced Certificate in Licensed Hospitality are:
