The Hospitality Professional Series comprises a complete, skills-oriented hospitality training curriculum. Throughout the series, the emphasis is on the specialized knowledge, industry perspective, problem-solving ability, and practical skills that separate a knowledgeable, promotable job candidate from an individual who has merely graduated from a hotel training program. This series evolved from programs used by major hotel and resort chains and properties to train their managers and employees. The curriculum has been in use at hotel training institutes and public and private schools since 1985. The emphasis is on the practical job-related skills, as well as the general and technical knowledge, that are required of a qualified entrant into the modern hospitality field.
