Hotel training for people from every country and language

All courses are developed in English only.  The courses were deliberately developed in simple language wherever possible to assist those of you who come from a non-English speaking background.  We have found that Google Translate will help you navigate through difficulties in language (although it is not always a perfect translation, it helps immensely).

Steps to add the Chrome Browser Web App to make completing English Courses much easier:

  1. Open Chrome Browser (you can also use Internet Explorer, Safari etc)
  2. Go to the top right of your screen and click on the menu
  3. Select Settings
  4. Select Extensions and go to Chrome Web Store
  5. Search for Google Translate and add it to the browser toolbar
  6.  When you are in the online courses, you can select the language you want to translate to
  7. The video on this page shows how the function will work and automatically translate each page in the online courses.
