About Professional Certification
| The American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (EI) established its first professional certification program over 30 years ago; and today our prestigious certification and recognition programs are acknowledged and esteemed worldwide. Certification helps dedicated professionals build hospitality careers by defining what it takes to be successful in any hospitality position, then helping hospitality employees reach their goals. Those who earn these designations, and maintain them, demonstrate an exceptionally high level of expertise, competence and commitment to the industry. Once certified, the professional certification designation may be used on letterhead, business cards, and other correspondence. Lapel pins and certificates are visible symbols of one’s status and achievement.
EI certifies and validates competencies in conjunction with academia and industry experts; designations are earned through a combination of experience and education.

Review sessions and exams
Certification-specific review sessions and exams are also offered for select designations. A standard review session features a full day of activities, beginning with a review session from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This instructional period provides an overview of the program materials that you study prior to attending the review and allows you a chance to ask questions in an informal discussion environment. The review class is an excellent opportunity to prepare for the proctored exam session, which will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
In order to attend a review class and exam session, you must submit your application to EI before deadlines. This will give ample time to receive your study material in preparation for the review.
