“Being the senior student in the first Cyprus group for the Certify Hotel Administrator (CHA) courses of the AHLEI, I believe the above fully express my feelings about this wonderful learning experience. Mr.Polykarpou, I will like to thank you for offering me this great opportunity to be a part of this group of professionals, nice people, and good students thirsty to learn and improve their managerial and leadership skills.
In this case, I must admit that we learned easier because from day one I felt welcome and comfortable by you personally and all your team at HRD. Thanks to our instructors Mr. Spyros Michaelides and Mr. Eugenios Savva, I received a very high level of teaching which positively inspired me and made my learning experience a great one! The outcome of all this certainly helps me to refresh and learn many more very important aspects that will positively affect my hotel operations and future career in general.
If I may say, I believe that the above certainly express my colleagues and new friends of the CHA group as well!”
“Very well organized and efficiently done course! The level of course was very high.”
