Pre-Entry Awareness Training (PEAT)

This e-learning course has been designed for prospective tenants/lessees who are considering signing a pub tenancy or lease agreement. It will allow individuals to identify the main issues which need to be considered and investigated before signing.

If you're taking a pub with any pubco or brewery you need to take the PEAT course before taking on a pub. It is also an essential tool to ensure you understand the way the different pub models work, whether you are taking a tenancy/lease, an operator agreement, or becoming a freeholder.
