AHLEI Partners with Safety Source to Offer Training Videos

Orlando, Florida, August 2010—The American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI) has partnered with Safety Source Productions to offer two new training videos on important topics for all hospitality operations—bed bugs and sexual harassment.

Based in Southern California, Safety Source Productions delivers video training programs, e-learning, and interactive training for dozens of industries, including hospitality.

Bed Bugs: Facts & Prevention is a 12-minute DVD developed to meet the training needs of housekeepers, maintenance employees, and property managers. The program raises awareness of this critical issue and provides information to help employees, detect, manage, and prevent bed bug infestations. The DVD is available for $180.00 for AH&LA member and $225.00 for nonmembers.

Sexual Harassment: What Managers Need to Know is an 18-minute DVD directed to human resource managers and other managers who receive reports of sexual harassment incidents or those who may be in a position to prevent or respond to such incidents. The program includes information on promoting an environment that prevents sexual harassment, procedures for dealing with sexual harassment complaints, appropriate actions to investigate and resolve sexual harassment claims, and interview strategies for claimants and those accused.  This video is available for $116.00 for AH&LA members and $145.00 for nonmembers.

Both DVDs can be purchased online at http://shop.ahlei.org or by calling 1-800-752-4567 (in US or Canada) or 01 (517) 372-8800.  Outside the U.S. and Canada, call 01 (407) 999-8100.

AHLEI Introduces Time-Payment Option for Distance Learning Courses

Lansing, Michigan, August 2010—The American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI) has introduced a time payment option for its Distance Learning program.  Students who enroll in three or more courses can choose to pay over several months rather than paying their complete enrollment fee upfront.

With this option, students pay $180 for their first course (add an additional $45 if enrolling for the first time), and then make three monthly payments of $60 for each additional course. When AHLEI receives the third installment, the student receives the next course in their program.  Students receive monthly reminders to keep their payments on track.

Under this new payment option, students can take 13 months to pay for a five-course Area of Specialization, 22 months to pay for the eight-course Hospitality Operations Certificate, and nearly three years to pay for the 12-course diploma program.  Plus, upon enrollment, the student’s payment schedule is locked in, even if AHLEI increases prices midway through the program. 

For more information, call Karen Flickinger, Distance Learning Manager, at 800-390-8399 or 517-372-8800, e-mail kflickinger@ahla.com, or visit www.ahlei.org/distancelearning.
