By the end of the programme, you will be ready to open and close the Betfred shop and be all set for life in your role as Assistant Sales Manager.

We are dedicated to promoting safer gambling practices to ensure a responsible and enjoyable experience for all our customers. We prioritise player safety and well-being, providing resources and support for those who may need assistance.
