Intensive Learning at CHE Workshops
Two Certified Hospitality Educator (CHE) Workshops leading to professional recognition hosted by the SHTM were held on 2-6 July and 8-12 July this year on the School premises. Presented by Dr Fred Mayo of New York University, each workshop spanned four days, with an examination on the fifth. The first workshop was exclusively for SHTM faculty members and postgraduate students, whereas the second workshop was for hospitality educators from Hong Kong and overseas. Nineteen
participants attended the first workshop and twenty-five attended the second.
In both workshops, the participants had the opportunity to network with other educators as they discussed and practised the latest global teaching principles and skills that provide the best educational experience for hospitality students.
While all hospitality educators can benefit from the continuing education and professional development offered through the CHE programme, its focus on interactive
teaching skills is especially useful for instructors who come from a strong industry background.
After completing the CHE requirements, participants earn certification from the American Hotel and Lodging Association's Educational Institute. The Certified Hospitality Educator designation recognises those individuals who have demonstrated the qualities needed to become effective hospitality educators. It is prized by hospitality educators worldwide because it helps to build their
reputation for classroom excellence.
The SHTM is proud to have been associated with the Educational Institute of the American Hotel and Lodging Association in offering CHE Workshops since 2003.
