abv training was established in September 2001 by the late David Hawbrook CMBII, who invested his 30 years of experience of working in the hospitality industry as well as his passion for the field to create the multi-award winning abv training.

In 2015 CPL Training Group acquired abv training and further helped to establish it as one of the UK’s leading training providers.

abv training offers a wide range of nationally recognised qualifications from awarding bodies such as the BIIAB and Highfield.

These qualifications include Personal Licence courses such as the Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH), Scottish Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (SCPLH) and Multiple Certificate in Multiple Licensed Premises Management.

This is just a small snapshot of the training our team delivers.

We are proud that we work with many of the UK’s leading operators of pubs, hotels and leisure.
