What students have to say...

For starting your hospitality career

I found this content and reading to be SUPER NICE! It is PERFECT for a student in college studying hospitality, a front desk person, a new-hire into the sales/catering office, a reservations person or call center person who wants to learn revenue, or even a new-hire IN revenue.

Certification Student
For growing your hospitality career

I really enjoyed the writing style of the CRMA study guide. This certification is a very useful process for anyone with an interest in front office operations or revenue optimization OR for someone who is in sales and marketing and just used to "selling" and not seeing the other side of the coin.  The writer is fantastic. It's smooth!!
