Cursus

Hospitality is more important than ever. It's all about making your guests feel welcome. Guests want to be seen and heard. And that applies for every guest. As individuals each and every guest wants to experience genuine hospitality. And we know that the feeling of being welcome does have direct impact on guest spending and returning! This course of three half days offers you the possibility to achieve a recognized branche certificate issued by SVH. 

Your hospitality behaviour is extremely important while working in a hospitality environment. Sometimes people seem to forget or are not aware of it. The good thing is that with some help you can be trained (or coached) in developing your hospitality skills. Training on the principles of hospitality as a team may give a boost to your sales performances or exceeding the expectations guests have of your company. It also means that you and the team are better equipped to handle complaints by a guest. This course gives you an insight on the importance of a making a good first impression, the basic principles of hospitality, your representation, hospitality as a commercial proposition and truly understanding the importance of a guest journey.
