Q. I am a student, and interested in a career in the tourism and hospitality industry. Should I take SuperHost?
A. SuperHost certification is designed to provide students with fundamental customer service skills and help them prepare for a career in the tourism industry. The SuperHost Foundations of Service Quality™ course is ideal for people who are either entering the workforce for the first time or after a significant break, or are fairly new at working in a front-line, customer-facing role. Foundations of Service Quality is available in classroom or online format.
Q. I completed WorldHost. What is the difference between WorldHost and SuperHost?
A. WorldHost was a series of customer service training workshops managed and administered by Destination British Columbia. Prior to that the program was called SuperHost® and was originally launched in 1985 in preparation for Expo 86. go2HR took over the program in 2017 and since then, a new suite of classroom and online courses was being developed and launched under the revitalized, refreshed SuperHost brand. While the WorldHost program is still recognized by employers and the tourism industry, you are encouraged to complete the new SuperHost program as it includes updated and relevant content and best practices required to meet the current demands and expectations of employers and visitors.
