The five-day intensive workshop provides the participants with comprehensive knowledge in effective Marketing, Sales, Revenue Management, Front Office, Interpersonal Skills, and Sales Management. Having worked in three continents and more than 20 years of Sales & Marketing experience, I was honored to be invited as facilitator to bring best practices to the next generation of skilled and well-trained professionals in Vietnam. I was extremely impressed with the Elite’s high level of commitment and dedicated professional team of coordinators, interpreters and administrators whose assistance and enthusiasm, was mirrored positively in the participants’ evaluation of the entire workshop.

What spurred me to do this was when I watched a teaching demonstration conducted by another CHE grad, Vinnie Rege, and I was totally blown away by his demo. I would say that I am totally committed to living and practicing writing great instructional objectives as well as utilizing the INTRO method in all my classes.”

“It makes no sense for Best Western or Starwood or Marriott to develop their own training programs for front desk associates or housekeepers or on topics like PCI compliance, when AHLEI provides the bases of these programs and each chain can customize or tweak them for their own needs. It’s much more cost effective for everyone.”
