In addition, this course will provide essential education on wine. Servers will train their sense of smell, taste and touch and then apply that training through a tasting evaluation.

E-LEARNING?
E-learning is an interactive web based education program with streaming video, moving slideshows, audio with scrolling text, and interactive games. It incorporates both visual and audio stimulus for learning which helps students retain important information sooner. E-learning is proven to reduce training costs, improve compliance, increase employee competencies, and reduce employee turnover. Many companies know that it is something they need or want but fear of costs, lack of understanding, and the inexperience of pursuing an e-learning initiative can keep companies from moving forward.
Many companies in the hospitality industry hire new employees and begin training them using a “shotgun” method of training. We welcome them to their new job, tell them that they’ve made a great choice in coming to work for us, and then we bombard them with everything they need to know about their job, the people they work for, the people they work with, and what they can expect in a long-term career. Our industry is fast-paced, high-energy, and because of high employee turnover numbers, there is an inherent need to get people trained as quickly as possible. E-learning enables companies to save time by teaching the employees what they need to know when they need to know it.
