Your application will not be processed without it.

Payment must be made in U.S. funds drawn on a U.S. bank, payable to the Educational Institute.

RECEIVE your course(s) and instructional packet.
We will send your course materials as soon as we process your application and payment. Our staff is happy to answer any questions you have about course offerings or enrollment procedures. Please feel welcome to contact us at 800-390-8399 or 517-372-8800 or e-mail us at dlearning@ei-ahla.org.
SELECT your proctor and TAKE your final exam.
When you are ready to take your final exam, notify the Educational Institute of the proctor who has agreed to administer your examination. We will send your exam to him/her. Your proctor's role is to oversee the exam. Proctors must be selected from among the following: a hotel/motel general manager, your immediate supervisor, a hotel/motel personnel and/or training director, a high school or college instructor, a religious counselor or minister, or other professional person. Your proctor must not be a relative.
Before you submit a proctor's name to the Educational Institute, please be sure that the individual understands his or her role and is willing to take the time to administer your exam.
Course/Program Time Allowances and Passing Scores
For your convenience, generous time frames are allowed for course/program completions:
Single course: 4 months
Certificate of Specialization: 20 months
Hospitality Operations Certificate: 32 months
Hospitality Management Diploma: 48 months
Food and Beverage Management Diploma: 48 months
You are encouraged to progress at your own rate within the allotted time frame. Students who receive an overall score of 69 percent or more for a course will receive a Certificate of Completion. If the score is 90 percent or more, the course certificate will indicate "With Honors."
Interruption of Training Policy
If, for any reason, you discontinue your studies, then decide you would like to start where you left off-you're in luck. EI has an easy re-enrollment plan. Simply contact us about your intent to re-enroll, pay a nominal re-enrollment fee, and resume your studies. It's as easy as that. Any questions about this policy should be directed to the academic programs department.
Curriculum Changes
Because the hospitality industry is dynamic and fast-paced, EI's courses and curricula are regularly revised to reflect industry developments. You are protected from course requirement changes within a curriculum only after you have enrolled in a Certificate of Specialization, the Hospitality Operations Certificate, the Hospitality Management Diploma, or the Food and Beverage Management Diploma as long as your completion deadline has not passed.
Multiple-Course Discounts
Your Distance Learning education is even more economical when you enroll in two or more courses or a complete curriculum (Certificate of Specialization, Hospitality Operations Certificate, Hospitality Management Diploma, or Food and Beverage Management Diploma). Buying several courses offers substantial savings over the same number of courses purchased individually. The enrollment application gives complete details.
Liberal Cancellation/Settlement Policy
We understand that personal and professional demands sometimes make continuation of a study program impossible. Be assured that our liberal cancellation policy protects you if you change your mind about your career or your studies. This policy is detailed on the back of the enrollment application. Do keep our "Interruption of Training" policy in mind if you ever consider the possibility of canceling.
