Aimbridge Hospitality has recently aligned its support of employee professional development with the globally-recognized certifications offered by HFTP, which include the Certified Hospitality Accountant Executive (CHAE®) and the Certified Hospitality Technology Professional (CHTP®). HFTP offers the only designations for finance and technology professionals who are working in the hospitality industry. Through its partnership with HFTP, Aimbridge Hospitality joins Rosewood and Hyatt in offering a group certification program to its employees.

“Aimbridge Hospitality is proud to partner with HFTP and its hospitality certification programs, which are of great value to our associates’ professional development,” said Bill Deller, senior vice president of hotel finance at Aimbridge. “They align with our commitment to investing in our associates and our value to ‘Become Better. Every Day.’”

Especially in today’s economic climate of resource reduction, companies like Aimbridge are increasingly finding value in professional certification. HFTP designees are able to demonstrate not only accounting, finance and/or technology expertise but also operations experience and an ability to work across departments. Active HFTP certificants have reported higher salaries and various advancement opportunities. Becoming certified indicates an individual is committed to professionalism, continuing education and their chosen career path.

The CHAE and CHTP certifications are offered through the HFTP Academy, which also offers three certificate programs that provide valuable instruction, training and recognition of a specific practice or skillset. To learn more about all of these opportunities, visit the HFTP Academy online at: https://www.hftp.org/hftp_academy/.
