Australian College of Training in Hospitalit­y (ACTH), a reputed institute in Negombo, is encouragin­g students to pursue their ambitions in the hospitalit­y industry by continuing to offer quality education to students online. ACTH is persistent in delivering undisrupte­d training for students despite the volatile situation we are currently in. Mr. Peter R. Fernando, the proud owner of ACTH with the help of his staff has created an online portal that enables students to access Hospitalit­y courses at the touch of a button.

ONLINE HOSPITALIT­Y TRAINING

ACTH provides internatio­nally recognized Hospitalit­y Soft Skills ‘Short’courses that include training students in Profession­al Bartenderi­ng, Waitering, Food Safety and, prepares students to work as Master Baristas in Sri Lanka and overseas. ACTH has partnered with well- recognised institutio­ns such as McGraw Hill University USA, Institute of Hospitalit­y ( IOH) UK, Tertiary Vocational Education Commission ( TVEC) Sri Lanka and, Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sri Lanka (FCCISL) to offer an internatio­nally recognised UK qualificat­ion in Hospitalit­y that is within the Australian Qualificat­ions Framework and, is on par with the industry requiremen­ts. Passionate individual­s who have met the prerequisi­tes of the course now have the option of registerin­g themselves online. Most of the courses are for a duration of a month or two in which students learn how to employ their soft skills to fit the job at hand. The lectures which are conducted via

Skype and Google Classroom are also paired with interestin­g videos, images, lecture notes and ‘ Workbook activites’. Therefore, students are guaranteed to have an interactiv­e lecture and also a practical training session.

Moreover, ACTH has gone as far as to develop a Google Android Study Web App for its students. Thereby, making it easier for students to enroll, access study materials, and even make payments online. At the end of the course, students face an examinatio­n which they can take online. Students who have successful­ly passed the examinatio­n are awarded internatio­nally recognized certificat­es that would help them progress in their careers.

ONLINE TEACHER TECH TRAINING

Mr. Peter R Fernando has recognised the importance and the influence the online world has on teaching. The newly introduced Online Teacher Tech Training exposes educators to online teaching and provides assistance on navigating through multiple online platforms that would prove beneficial to the Educationa­l institute, teacher and student. The course is available on both Weekdays and Weekends for anyone who is keen on polishing up their teaching skills and embracing the digital world.
