Frequently Asked Questions

What is CLIMB?

Climb is a library of hospitality classes, all of which are one-hour in length, and delivered in an interactive, online platform. Climb training classes are comprised of selected topics that are essential to the success of a hospitality professional.

Climb Training is self-paced, low cost, and accredited; each class grants CEU’s; and all classes are developed by hospitality professionals for hospitality professionals.

Climb classes are available for associate, supervisory and managerial levels.

How is CLIMB different?

Climb can be purchased by individuals, managers for their department and HR professionals for organizational deployment.

Classes are low cost and may be purchased in small increments to fill specific learning gaps for hospitality professionals.

Online Climb classes can be taken on computers, laptops, tablets, and even mobile phones. Participants can start, exit, and then pick up where they left off according to their schedules.

Upon completion, all participants may download a summary action sheet with quick tips and techniques from classes that allow for immediate application of KSAs learned.  Participants may also print out evidence of completion automatically.

Who developed CLIMB?

Climb is a service offered by The International School of Hospitality (TISOH). Located in Las Vegas, TISOH is a 15-year old accredited, hospitality continuing education school developed and staffed entirely by hospitality professionals. Check out the school at TISOH.edu

How is CLIMB training delivered?

Climb does not waste a participant’s time. Condensed to one-hour in length, the subject matter is delivered via a mixture of mediums including videos, storytelling, and guided examples for enhanced interaction. There are brief knowledge checks in every section to ensure comprehension.

Is there an in-person version of CLIMB?

All Climb classes can be offered in-person as well as online.  Although not regularly scheduled at this time, they will be in the future. In the meantime, if you would like a live, in-person session, contact us and we will see if we have a facilitator in your area. Email: info@hospitalityclimb.com

Why should I take a CLIMB class or series?

You should take a Climb class to improve your performance and productivity at work. Climb fills in knowledge gaps and makes you better at what you do.

Climb does not take a large time commitment. Nor does it require a large financial commitment.

What do I get when I finish?  Anything I can hang on my wall?

Yes! If you take a class, you can print out a CEU Record automatically when you complete a training class. It is customized with your name and the title of the class taken. Make a copy for your files and share it with your superiors and HR professionals, so that they have a record of your training.

If you take a series, you can print out a Record of Accomplishment automatically when you complete all requirements.  This record is customized with your name and the series title. Make a copy for your files and share it with your superiors and HR professionals so that they have a record of your training. The Record of Accomplishment is an impressive document suitable for proudly hanging in your office or home.

Learning is yours. No one can take it away from you. Your training will help make you more effective in the short and long term.

What is a Class?

A class is a single topic, one-hour long, online class. Upon completion, you may download an Action Sheet with a topical summary and application tips. You will also receive a CEU Record to print out when you complete.

What is a Series?

There are two types of series.

Skill Series:

Communication Series

Guest Service Series

Essential Management Series

People Management Series

These consist of 5 classes each. Each of the 5 classes are carefully selected in the area of concentration to fill in learning gaps.

Core Series:

Core Series: Associate Level

Core Series: Supervisor Level

Core Series: Manager Level

These consist of 10 classes each. The 10 classes collectively comprise learning topics that are essential to enhancing performance and productivity in the workplace.

Upon completion of each class within the series, you may download an Action Sheet with a topical summary and application tips. You will also receive an impressive Record of Accomplishment to print out when all Core Series requirements are met.

How many classes or series can I take?

There is no limit. Climb is meant to help you grow and help you learn as your career progresses. You can take a class or a series, and as your responsibilities or learning interest grows, enroll in additional classes, series, and levels.

There is no prerequisite for enrolling in any class or series.

I have taken 10 classes separately and I now realize that I have met the requirements for a series.  Can I request a Record of Accomplishment?

Yes, you can. Email: info@hospitalityclimb.com

How long is my class access?

Once a class is started (logged in and first lesson accessed), class access expires in one month.

Once a Series is started (logged in and first lesson accessed), program access expires in three months.

What is a CEU?

The Continuing Education Unit (CEU) is commonly recognized as a standard unit of measure for continuing education and training, particularly as it applies to the personal and professional development of adult learners in a formalized, educational setting.

TISOH (The International School of Hospitality) is an accredited member of the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training (ACCET), a national institutional accrediting agency recognized by the U. S. Department of Education, TISOH is listed in the American Council on Education’s Accredited Institutions of Postsecondary Education (AIPE) and the Council on Higher Education Accreditation’s (CHEA) website, which are widely used by government agencies, military services, corporations, and professional organizations for identifying credible education and training organizations relative to accepting CEU credits and establishing pricing reimbursement policies.   

CEU’s from the Climb program are therefore recognized and transferable.

Do I earn CEU's for taking CLIMB classes and series?

Yes! You earn 0.1 CEU for each class. You earn 0.5 CEU for a Skill Series and 1.0 CEU for a Core Series.

How can I prove I earned CEU's from CLIMB?

You will be able to print out either a personalized CEU Record or a personalized Record of Accomplishment when you complete.

TISOH keeps a permanent record for each participant. You may request a transcript from TISOH at any time that details your CEU’s earned. There is a $5 fee for transcripts. To request a transcript, email: info@hospitalityclimb.com

Are there any prerequisites for taking a CLIMB class or series?

There are none. Climb is designed to help everyone become better at their jobs.

Climb has numerous classes with different levels that are appropriate for associates, supervisors, and managers, though anyone can take any of the classes.

Can I take CLIMB just for myself?

Yes! Please enroll directly on the Climb website. Once enrollment is completed, you will be directed to the learning management system for you to set up your account and access the class immediately.

Can I buy CLIMB for my team or organization?

Yes! Purchasing seats for your team or your entire organization is easy, too.  Click on "For my team" or "For my company" on the navigation bar at the top of the screen for multiseat purchases. Bulk discounts are available.

The instruction sheet will have a unique website URL for the participant to use to access the class. There will also be a QR code that the participant can scan and be taken directly to the class.
  3.
