SVH Hospitality Mentor Online combines live lessons with independent study. You don’t need to travel to a teaching venue, but you do have regular sessions with a tutor and continue working on the e-learning modules and your portfolio between lessons.
You will attend three online sessions via Zoom. Each session runs from 10.00 to 13.00 and is delivered live by a tutor. The online sessions take place every other week. This gives you plenty of time in between to put the material covered into practice and continue working on your assignments.
Through the online learning environment, you will study the theory independently and prepare for the lessons and the exam. Your e-learning licence is valid for 4 months. In addition to the online lessons, you should allow for around 32 hours of self-study.

This online course is designed for professionals who supervise apprentices, trainees or new staff and wish to acquire the relevant knowledge and an officially recognised qualification.
The course is tailored to everyday practice in the hospitality industry. Throughout the programme, you will actively work with situations from your own working environment and build a portfolio that demonstrates how you mentor students.
To take part, it is important that you have sufficient practical experience to be able to complete the assignments and the portfolio.
The course prepares you for the official SVH Hospitality Mentor examination. This allows you to demonstrate that you have not only mastered the theory, but are also capable of providing professional guidance to students.
Throughout the course, you will build up a portfolio demonstrating how you carry out the various tasks of a mentor.
During a practical role-play, you will demonstrate how you guide, coach and communicate with a student in various real-life situations.
You complete the theoretical part with an exam consisting of 30 multiple-choice questions.
Once you have successfully completed all three parts of the exam, you will receive the official SVH Mentor in the Hospitality diploma and the accompanying Master Trainer pin.
Having a qualified practical trainer within your organisation means you fulfil an important part of the requirements for becoming an accredited training organisation. The accreditation of the training organisation itself is applied for and assessed via SBB.
