Details
BIIAB has developed the BIIAB Level 1 ARAR in response to industry-wide training requirements to demonstrate commitment to responsible alcohol retailing.

The BIIAB Level 1 ARAR provides additional protection to licensed premises operators and candidates alike as it contains 3 mandatory questions that ensure every candidate fully understands the legislation concerning underage sales, serving persons who are drunk and the licensing objectives.

The qualification covers the following areas:
• The nature of alcohol and the effect that it has on the human body.
• The main issues in the 2003 Licensing Act as they relate to alcohol retailers and servers.
• Licensing law in relation to the protection of children from harm.
• The social responsibilities relating to the retail sale of alcohol.
• How to recognise drunkenness, and your duty not to serve drunk customers.
• Appropriate strategies that can be adopted to prevent or eliminate alcohol-related crime and conflict and the importance of personal safety.

The training and examination for this qualification is available at BIIAB approved centres and are  followed by a paper-based examination.

“The London 2012 Olympics offers outstanding business opportunities within the Hospitality and Leisure sectors, but now is the time to prepare and invest in training. Consistent changes in legislation make it increasingly difficult for businesses to keep track of new training requirements.
