Casino academy launched in Liverpool
TWO entrepreneurs have launched the Casino Training Academy in Liverpool city centre.
Amanda Evans and Sally Chong have pooled together more than 30 years of casino experience to deliver croupier training across Liverpool.
The academy was started after the pair identified that there was no resource in Liverpool for people who wanted to train for a career in the industry, and that local casinos had to look outside the area for staff.
Based in Parr Street Studios, the Casino Training Academy takes on eight students a month to train them to entry level in blackjack and roulette. Further training in other games at level two is also available.
They set up the new business with assistance from business support organisation Waves Enterprise, which gave business advice, industry contacts and knowledge.
Ms Evans said: “They have affiliated us with the ‘Jobs Education Training’ company and we can now offer funded places and NVQ qualifications as part of the course to our students.”
