Why Choose Beyond the Blue as Provider of Training & Consultancy?
At Beyond the Blue Training & Consultancy we are dedicated to delivering ‘excellence in customer service’.
Our focus is on the quality of the training and consultancy we deliver. This is reflected in our ‘BIIAB Grade 1 Approved Training Provider’ status; the BIIAB describe grade 1 as ‘demonstrating outstanding quality procedures’
We take the same proactive approach in all our training; a good case study which demonstrates this is our approach to the Award for Personal Licence Holders Course / APLH Course. Many training companies concentrate on teaching learners to pass the exam, we call this ‘tick the box training’; it does little to teach the learner how to be a responsible personal licence holder.
Tick the box training places learners at ‘greater risk’ by providing them with unmerited confidence. In the case of personal licence training, when something does go wrong they cannot claim ‘ignorance’ and can thus face the significant penalties which can be imposed; under the Licensing Act 2003, its subsequent amendments and other related legislation.
Our focus is on delivering effective training which allows learners to be more proactively within their workplace and to really understand their responsibilities within their own role. A consequence of our approach is that 97.5% of learners attending our training courses which have an associated exam, pass their exam at the first attempt; additionally they bring added value back into the business following the training.

We also receive very positive comments in relation to the standard of our training and the trainers who deliver it.

Our Fees
We believe in complete transparency in the fees we charge. Our course fees are fully inclusive of all handbooks, tuition, course handouts, examinations and certification associated with the course. We do not advertise one price and then add ‘extras’ at each step of the booking process.
All the materials we provide are the original and authentic copies. For example BIIAB handbooks / workbooks we supply are new copies, yours to keep and use for future reference.
Our Commitment To You
We will not cancel a course because it doesn’t suit us or because it is not ‘financially viable…’
Where we advertise an ‘open’ course, as soon as one learner is booked onto an advertised date, we are committed to providing that service. It is our responsibility to make sure that we attract enough learners, so even if only one or two learners register for a course, we remain committed to delivering the course.
Since the beginning of 2007 we have not cancelled a single course; we intend to keep this record intact for many years to come.
We publish our Booking and Cancellation Terms and Conditions openly on our website.
Supporting All Our Clients
We are always happy to provide our clients with support, advice and further information on any of the subjects we specialise in; even after they have completed their training or consultancy project.
We always offer our honest professional opinion based on our years of experience and close contacts with various industry bodies, local authorities and private sector specialists.
