German-based SuitePad has developed a free e-learning platform, SuitePad Academy, to digitise hotel staff training, student and trainee education. The modular, purely digital courses and accompanying videos and tips may be accessed at any time. Upon completion, students receive a certificate. The first programme on Guest Communication & Storytelling covers seven modules. Future courses will cover topics including hotel technology, upselling, process optimisation and modern hotel marketing. SuitePad’s core business is its award-winning in-room tablets. More than one million hotel guests a month use the company’s products.
