		Hey, all. I had a sneaking feeling that there might be a few people here who are certificate-mongers like myself and would appreciate a good freebie. 
University of South Florida has opened up enrollment in their latest free program, modeled after their wildly popular Post-Crisis Leadership certificate, but geared specifically towards those working in hospitality in tourism.

We've seen free certs in Crisis Management.
We've seen free certs in Hospitality Management.
Like peanut butter & jelly, rice & beans, Penn & Teller, Megazord, Voltron and NKOTBSB... they were destined to come together.

		Count me in on this freebie, I see that it's self paced and they have recorded or will be recording the sessions... 
Awesome, it can be completed on my free time (if i have any).  Thanks a bunch...

		Glad I could share this- looks like some of us will be classmates!! 
 
I want to emphasize that the last time USF offered a free certificate, it was only free for the first cohort. Thereafter, they brought the program back for $200. In that vain, this cert will most likely not be free if you miss the first cohort and want to take it at another time.

		Hey, anyone get to watch the first session live? I was only able to catch a few minutes due to other obligations, but I liked the instructors/facilitators and I got pretty excited about maybe, actually, enjoying the program. 
I'll probably get around to watching the full lecture, and taking the quiz, this weekend.

I watched it late Monday evening.  Played it at 1.5-1.75X and it was clear. Quiz was 15 questions, and you can take it up to 20 times I believe.
 
I did not really get much new info out of it, but I wouldn't say it was a waste. I took a few notes and there were a couple of things that I will mull over and add to.
