Choosing a program...
When selecting a training vendor be sure to:
•
Get it in writing - know what you are paying for and have a complete understanding of the services and products you are ordering.
•
Get the company name, the contact name and phone number when you call - you'll be grateful to have a name and contact who'll be there the next time you have questions about anything relating to the hospitality industry.
•
Check with the Better Business Bureau - especially when selecting someone you do not know - we frequently receive call from folks who did business with a new vendor and paid up front only to find out their class was canceled and now no one is answering the phone or returning calls.
•
Understand your discounts - Are you an FRLA member and/or RCS Client and do you qualify for a membership discount on the products you are buying? When you log in your membership discounts are automatically applied to your order. If you do not currently have an individual account with us, no problem! When creating your account, select your member company from the drop down list and the rest is automatic.
•
Consider your commitment to your certification - registering in advance, studying in advance and attending the review class may cost a little more in time and money, but pays off much higher dividends when it results in you passing the exam the FIRST time. Your time and money is valuable, use and invest it wisely.
