Both receptionists received a program syllabus which covered predominantly the Movenpick Hotels and Resorts' standards on guest services and relations, applications of key operating procedures and techniques, hospitality requirements, and technical practicum on front office systems. Rooms, facilities and back office tours were also carried-out to magnify the hotel’s vital features and daily operations.

The two successful scholars that are equipped with more cognition and amplified expertise, gained comprehensively through classroom training sessions and practicum, reported back to their respective hotels and are all geared up to deliver to all its guests the Movenpick Hotels & Resorts promise, the "Natural Enjoyment."
