AHA’s final exams consist of 100+ randomized questions in an effort to test overall knowledge on specific course material. Our certification exams are credentialing tests used to determine if students are knowledgeable enough in a specific area for practical application. Think of exams as educational tests and certifications as application tests. Both are important to your career! 

We firmly believe that each student’s journey is unique. This mindset extends to our course and certification formats, which are all self-paced. Using this structure promotes confidence and focus for students to complete assignments on their own timeline.  

AHA’s vision is to elevate the hospitality industry through a standardized framework for service excellence. We see this goal as a progressive path for students in terms of completing courses that will in turn elevate their careers. For many students, courses are a starting point with a build up to certifications. The good news: all of AHA’s courses are prerequisites for our certification programs meaning there is an ongoing opportunity to further your professional development.  

The AHA team includes hospitality professionals with decades of experience. From catering to restaurants to event management and more, we’ve walked the walk. A big part of our learning structure is to infuse our hands-on experience with industry best practices to set students up for long-term success. We offer a range of career services, including one-on-one advising, group discussions and job placement recommendations. Career counseling is woven into AHA and reflects our mission to educate, enrich and inspire hospitality professionals.  

When choosing a career path, many factors come into play. Are you seeking a structured and regimented role? A more flexible work schedule? Addressing these questions can help you identify the professional path that best suits your lifestyle.  

Restaurant roles are typically more reliable and follow a hierarchy with culinary and service roles. There is stability in terms of scheduling and set shifts.

Catering is more agile by way of event types, audiences and time commitment. While both options have innate differences, they both require the same foundational knowledge and dedication.  

Our seasoned team members have real-world industry experience and insights to support you on your journey. No matter your path, AHA is here to help you deliver service excellence with every role, every time.
