Getting started

We want to ensure that you are as prepared as possible for running your pub business, whether new to the industry or taking on another pub.

There are some essential training courses that you must complete before you embark on your journey to running a successful pub business with Enterprise.

Pre-Entry Awareness Training (PEAT)

*Compulsory for those who have not held a tenancy or lease before

Personal Licence

*Required by anyone who sells or authorises the sale of alcohol to the public

Anyone who sells or authorises the sale of alcohol to the public in England or Wales is legally obliged to hold a Personal Licence. To obtain a Personal Licence, you will need to apply to your local authority.

In supporting your application for a Licence, you must prove that you hold a government-approved licensing qualification such as the Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH).
