The British Institute of Innkeeping (BII) will provide provisional membership to all candidates who pass the BIIAB National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders and Scottish Licensee’s Certificate (SLC) from 5 March.

Successful candidates, who take the BIIAB NCPLH and SLC from this date, will automatically qualify for a 6-month provisional membership, which will entitle them to the organisation’s electronic newsletter.

Steve Howe, director of membership, said: “We realise that many people who have taken the NCPLH/SLC do not go straight into their new roles, and if they do they are bombarded with information.

“This provisional membership will offer them the level of support they need in the early stages, and when they are ready they can become full BII members and enjoy all the benefits from BIIBUSINESS magazine, the free helplines to savings and professional status.” Details: www.bii.org
