How it works

From assigning training to a certificate a third party can check, in four steps.

  1. Assign

    A manager assigns a course, a programme or a procedure to a person, a department, a property or a job role, with a due date.

  2. Learn

    The employee works through lessons in Arabic or English, on a phone during a quiet hour if that is when the shift allows.

  3. Assess

    An assessment checks they can do the work, not that they sat through it. Attempts, timing and score are recorded.

  4. Certify

    A certificate is issued with a verification code a third party can check, and the skill is recorded against the employee.

Training built around the shift, not around a syllabus

Hospitality Academy teaches the work a hotel actually does. Every course follows a procedure as it is carried out on shift: the sequence, the written standard, the mistakes that appear most often, and a checklist the learner works through in their own department. Courses run in Arabic and English, and the Arabic version is laid out right to left rather than mirrored from an English page.

What the academy covers

The catalogue is organised by hotel department, so a room attendant, a front desk agent, a commis chef and a maintenance technician each have a path that belongs to them. Front office, housekeeping, food and beverage, kitchen, sales and marketing, revenue and reservations, guest experience, quality and audit, security and safety, engineering and hotel management are all covered, along with the safety training every employee needs regardless of department.

Standard operating procedures as a first-class module

Procedures are not attachments in a shared drive. Each standard operating procedure is a versioned document with a purpose, scope, responsibilities, the procedure itself, a checklist, safety notes, a quality standard and an escalation route. When a procedure changes, the version is recorded and the people who need to read it are asked to acknowledge it again.

Certification a third party can check

A learner who completes a course and passes its assessment receives a certificate carrying a certificate number and a verification code. Anyone holding that code can check it on the public verification page and see whether it is valid, expired or revoked.

For hotels and groups

A hotel or group can assign training by property, department, job role or individual, set a due date, and see completion and outstanding items by department. Procedure acknowledgement is tracked the same way, so a manager can see who has read the current version and who has not.

Frequently asked questions

What is Hospitality Academy?

Hospitality Academy is a hotel training and standard operating procedure platform. It provides role-based courses for hotel departments, a versioned SOP library, assessments, and certificates that can be verified publicly. Courses are available in Arabic and English.

Are the courses available in Arabic?

Yes. Every course, lesson, procedure and public page exists in Arabic and English as separately written content, and the Arabic interface uses a genuine right-to-left layout rather than a mirrored English one.

How do I verify a Hospitality Academy certificate?

Enter the verification code printed on the certificate on the public verification page. The page returns one of four results directly: valid, expired, revoked, or not found. No account is needed to check a certificate.

How long does a hotel training course take?

Most courses take between forty five minutes and three hours of study, and can be split across shifts. Each course page states its own duration, and progress is saved so a learner can stop and resume.

Can a hotel assign training to a whole department at once?

Yes. A training assignment can target an individual, a department, a property, a job role or the whole organization, with a start date, a due date, reminders before the deadline and escalation to the line manager when an item becomes overdue.

What is a hotel SOP?

A hotel SOP, or standard operating procedure, is a written document that sets out exactly how a task is performed: its purpose, scope, responsibilities, required tools, numbered steps, checklist, safety notes, quality standard and escalation route. It carries a version number so a hotel can prove which version was in force at any date.

Does the academy publish pass rates or success statistics?

No. The academy does not publish pass rates, employer endorsements or accreditation claims, because those would be claims it cannot evidence to a visitor. A certificate states only what it records: who completed what, when, with what score, and whether it is still valid.

Which training is mandatory for every hotel employee?

Fire safety, emergency response and the property induction are assigned to every employee regardless of department, usually with a seven day due date from their start date. Chemical safety, food safety and knife safety are mandatory for the roles that handle those hazards.
