Cask Marque Training & Assessment
Why attend a Cask Marque course?
Beer is the most profitable part of your business, but do you know that 34% of customers would not return if the quality of the pint served was poor? Cask Marque offers various training courses packed with advice, tips and hints to help you grow your beer sales and improve your beer quality.
We have run courses for (in no particular order): M&B, JDW, Black Sheep, SA Brains, Whitbread, Town and City, Tattershall Castle Group, Orchid, Matthew Clark, Antic Pub Group, Punch Pub Co, Hook Norton, Palmers, Liberation Group, Brakspear Pub Co, Belhaven, Ei Group, Stonegate amongst many others.
We have been delivering cellar management training for over 15 years using accredited trainers who have run pubs and understand the pressures on the staff in running a busy site whilst delivering perfect quality beer, every time.
Sign up to one of our courses and find out why 96% of all delegates who have attended a cellar management training course with us have rated our training excellent or good. And considering we have trained well over 10,000 people in that time, it is some endorsement!
