BIIAB Course Teaches Kitchen Staff To Cook Up A Simple Treat

The ACTP builds on the essential theories and knowledge gained from the BIIAB Level 1 Award in Essentials of Catering (ECA), and introduces candidates to preparing and cooking meals. The ACTP also covers more advanced topics such as team working, menu design and planning and supplier management. Together, the ECA and ACTP provide a benchmark for professionalism in catering within the licensed retail industry.

The main learning tool for the ACTP training is a unique workbook, which has been designed to withstand the demands of a busy kitchen so candidates can continue to use it long after they have completed the qualification. There are practical exercises contained within the workbook that give learners the opportunity to put into practice the skills and techniques they have learned about. These activities need to be ‘signed off’ by a tutor or assessor (who could be their line manager) before they can access the short multiple choice assessment, ensuring that the candidate can apply their learning back in the workplace.

A further qualification which will be pitched at level 3 learners is currently in development and, once launched, will complete the suite of catering awards from BIIAB.

BIIAB is wholly owned by BII, the professional body for the licensed retail sector. BIIAB qualifications are delivered through a network of 600 approved centres operating in over 6,000 locations throughout the UK.
