This framework is designed for those wanting to work behind a bar or in customer facing roles in the bar area, employed in various licensed hospitality premises. It has been developed to meet the specific needs of the licensed hospitality industry to offer a clear route into leadership and management roles and to inspire young entrepreneurs and business start-ups.

This framework will support the government’s Skills for Sustainable Growth strategy by promoting personal growth and broadening interests, assisting employers in our sector to rely less on migrant workers, driving social mobility and contributing to employment, productivity and economic growth.
