Screen seasonal candidates in minutes, not interviews
Every summer you hire people with limited local references and two weeks to become productive. A Hospitality Certificate on a CV proves the candidate has studied core operational standards and passed an objective skills exam — before you spend valuable management hours interviewing.
Exams that can't be skimmed
Questions change every attempt, so candidates can't memorise their way through. Passing score is 75% — they can retake freely until they genuinely know the material.
Verifiable by ID
Every certificate carries a unique ID and the holder's name and score. Ask candidates to show it, or verify it on this site without needing an account.
Real, current content
Courses are built from what job listings actually ask for: service sequence, guest English, room standards, front-desk flow.

How the exam and verification work, and what the certificate is not
What the certificates cover
Our modular curriculum is targeted at front-of-house, beverage, housekeeping, and operational roles across European and international tourism hubs:
- Hospitality English Certificate
- Bar & Restaurant Service Certificate
- Housekeeping Standards Certificate
- Hospitality Italian Certificate
- Front Desk & Reception Certificate
- Hospitality Spanish Certificate
- Hospitality German Certificate
- Sustainable Tourism & Destination Management
- Hospitality Employee Relations & Team Dynamics
- Hospitality Revenue & Business Operations
- شهادة اللغة الإنجليزية لقطاع الضيافة والفنادق (Hospitality English Credential)

These are vocational skills credentials, not government licences. Where a role legally requires a regulated qualification (e.g. HACCP or municipal liquor licensing), that remains the employer's and employee's responsibility.
Hiring Arabic-speaking hospitality staff?
Many candidates applying to UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar hotel roles come from Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, and Morocco. Their English fluency is what Gulf hotel HR teams most commonly assess - and the most common gap on the CV.
Our Hospitality English Certificate for Arabic Speakers teaches front desk, F&B, and guest-handling phrases in professional English, with Arabic explanations - exactly the vocabulary a Gulf hotel recruiter tests in a phone screen. Candidates study free, then take a 20-question server-graded exam. The certificate they earn carries a unique ID your HR team can verify instantly.
