How you’d get it

How you’d get this certificate

  1. Zavmo teaches you. You learn the units one-to-one with an AI tutor, on your own work.
  2. You register with an approved centre. That is a college, training provider or employer BIIAB has approved to offer this qualification. Zavmo is not an approved centre, so you register with them, not with us.
  3. The centre assesses, and BIIAB awards. A qualified assessor at the centre judges your evidence, and the certificate comes from BIIAB.

These are the units BIIAB registers against this qualification. It is a catalogue, not a syllabus. Which of them you take depends on the combination the qualification requires, and that is set by the awarding body rather than by us. Every unit here is regulated. Zavmo teaches towards them on your own work, and work done here is recognised as prior learning under the agreements we hold.

Zavmo is not an awarding body, is not an approved centre, and is not affiliated with BIIAB. It does the teaching and the mapping. BIIAB sets this qualification and awards it, and a qualified human assessor makes the assessment decision.

05The credits

The credits, and who awards them

Level 2 credits are regulated, and they are awarded by BIIAB rather than by Zavmo. They don’t vanish when a subscription ends or a website closes. They travel to any employer, and Zavmo keeps the map of what you have covered and what is next.

What you would be collecting

Develop working relationships with colleaguesDeveloping a Food and Drinks Offering in Licensed HospitalityEmployment Rights and Responsibilities in the Hospitality, Leisure, Travel and Tourism SectorLead a team to improve customer serviceLead and manage meetingsMaintain the health, hygiene, safety and security of the working environmentManage the environmental impact of work activitiesManaging Customer Service in Licensed Hospitality

Each one is a real unit registered against this qualification.

How you’d practise it

You don’t watch this. You do it.

You are not assessed on remembering this. You are assessed on applying it, analysing it, evaluating it and producing something. So that is what the practice is: projects, role play and your own live cases, with a tutor in the room.

The Coach The Coach · your practice partner Illustration
The Coach Make the case from “Managing Marketing and Sales Promotions” to me in thirty seconds. I am the person who signs it off and I am already late.
You It would improve engagement and bring us in line with best practice.
The Coach Neither of those costs me anything to say no to. Open with the number that changes if I do nothing.
The same lesson on the real thing: the conversation in the middle, the thinking ladder on the left, and the criteria each answer is evidencing on the right.
  • Pitch it Evaluate

    “Managing Marketing and Sales Promotions” gets practised as a pitch. You make the case out loud, Zavmo asks the question the room would ask, and you make it again.

  • Lead it Apply

    “Lead a team to improve customer service” is practised on the team you actually have. You talk through the call you are about to make, and Zavmo makes you say it the way you would say it to them.
