Hospitality Education Available on the Internet 
with EI�s New Courseline
 
ORLANDO, Fla., December 1998�The Educational Institute of the American Hotel & Motel Association (EI) has announced a January 1999 launch for CourseLine, which offers the ability to take EI courses via the World Wide Web.  The first course, Front Office Procedures (332) will be available at the beginning of January - at a special price to those willing to help the company test its methods of delivery and content. 

The Front Office Procedures CourseLine program contains all of the text and exhibits found in the EI coursebook of the same title, and is mapped out for easy navigation and comprehension over the Internet.

No special equipment or software is required to take the course - just reliable access to the Internet, and an e-mail account.

After completing the course and passing the final online exam, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from the Educational Institute of the American Hotel & Motel Association. The certificate can count towards one of the five needed for the widely accepted Certificate of Specialization in Rooms Division Management.  The remaining courses required for that designation will be online soon. 

As an introductory offer, and in appreciation for participation in this first test, EI is offering Front Office Procedures at a one-time price of $97.50�half off the regular CourseLine price.
The five-day course enrollment period will begin Monday January 4, 1999.  Interested participants can log on to EI�s website anytime during this first week in January, select �CourseLine� and be able to enroll in Front Office Procedures immediately.  Credit card payment is preferred, but enrollees can forward a check to EI prior to the enrollment week, and EI will e-mail a password to to the student, so they can take the course as soon as they log on.
In order to react quickly to user feedback, EI is asking students to complete the course and take the exam within 60 days. Certificates of Completion will arrive by surface mail shortly thereafter.
