              After your purchase, you’ll receive an email with a form to complete. Fill out the form with participant details so we can create their accounts and grant access to the training and exam.

              Important: Exams should only be taken after the training is completed—early attempts may invalidate results and forfeit the free retake.

              You and/or your team will have access to the training and exam for six (6) months from the date of purchase.

              Important Note: Remember that whatever name you write under "Full Name" will be the name printed on your certification

              Yousry Edris | CFO, Nayyara Hospitality, Egypt

              The CHIA course was my first exposure to STR, as I have previously worked in other types of commercial real estate. The course was well-planned, and I felt like I learned a great deal of information in the allotted time period. I would highly suggest this to anyone who deals with STR reports, as this is a tremendous tool for hospitality professionals and a deeper understating of how to effectively interpret the reports is a necessity. Very happy I took this course from the start.

              Morgan Lemis | Senior Financial Analyst, Xenia Hotels & Resorts

              It is vital at Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group that our operators and revenue optimization team have a thorough understanding of the metrics used in the hotel industry. The Certification in Hotel Industry Analytics training has significantly helped further develop their knowledge of these fundamentals and has enhanced their daily job performance. Those that attended a CHIA training session and successfully received their certification are more confident in their ability to read and interpret not only the STR reports, but other reports commonly used in the hotel industry. We would highly recommend this training to any professional working in the hospitality industry.

              STR Reports are of critical importance for our hotel brokerage business, whether analyzing the performance of hotels we list for sale, for purposes of writing Broker Opinion of Value (BOV) for prospective sellers, investors and lenders, and site selection for hotel development.
