Earn a Certified Hospitality Educator (CHE®) Designation
The prestigious Certified Hospitality Educator (CHE) designation is the only professional certification for post-secondary instructors who teach hospitality. The CHE works for all educators. You may be new to teaching, a seasoned professor or an adjunct instructor or lecturer. It is especially useful for those with hospitality industry experience but no formal education training.
The preparation workshop provides educators with in-depth information about:
- Updated teaching strategies for delivering hospitality education.
- Incorporating technology and media strategies into courses.
- How adults learn, and how to deliver effective lessons.
- Creating more effective exams and evaluation tools to enhance the educational experience.
