EAHM offering certified AHLEI hospitality courses

The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management (EAHM) in Dubai has signed a partnership agreement with the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI) to offer hospitality students in the UAE a range of accredited hospitality management courses.

These courses have been designed to run across a range of positions and management levels, from front of house, supervisory and departmental management.

"Investing in your hotels employee’s professional qualifications is the best way to show that increase their value to the business while at the same time showing them that they are.”

“These courses have been designed to appeal to both individuals already working in the hotel industry who are being sponsored by their employers, as a part of organised training programs for a whole hotel groups, or even for people who are looking into starting out in the hospitality industry for the first time or looking to change careers,” added Williams-Sykes.
