The Distance Learning Advantage
Who should take Educational Institute courses?
People who want to take charge of their future and get ahead! Our thousands of successful graduates around the world represent all walks of life:
Department heads, assistant managers, and supervisors in hotels and restaurants
People already working in the hospitality field can learn more about their own areas and also expand their knowledge about other hospitality departments. EI coursework can prepare entry-level staff for supervisory positions and assistant managers for top management. Even those who have worked in the industry for many years can learn new ideas to make their jobs easier and more effective.
Hotel administration graduates
Graduates of four-year hotel and restaurant management programs can keep up-to-date by taking EI courses. The areas of specialization and diploma curricula can help graduates prepare for advanced credentials such as the Certified Hotel Administrator (CHA) or department-head level professional designations.
Business administration graduates
Business administration graduates who enter management or corporate positions within the hospitality industry can quickly learn the operational side of the business through EI courses.
Individuals without college degrees
Perhaps no other group stands to gain so much from EI study as those who have not earned a university degree in the hospitality area. EI's areas of specialization, operations certificate, and management diploma curricula can prepare individuals to successfully compete for jobs alongside university-trained hospitality graduates.
Department of Defense personnel and military veterans
Stationed in far-reaching corners of the world, military and civilian Department of Defense personnel and veterans have discovered that Distance Learning gives them the skills they need to move ahead in a military hospitality operation. It also adds to their marketability in the civilian job market once their service commitment ends.
Those who want to make an exciting career change
Many people who are dissatisfied with their current job situation find the hospitality industry to be the ideal place to seek either part-time or full-time work. EI courses help build the confidence and know-how that allow individuals to take advantage of the many opportunities in hotels, clubs, resorts, and restaurants.
