Disney Institute courses now available in Hawaii

The Disney Institute is bringing its professional development training programme to Hawaii at its Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa property.

The resort and spa in Ko Olina, Oahu, will offer the same course available at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California. With sessions taking place in September over three days, attendees will learn key business practices that have led the Walt Disney Company to become a worldwide brand across multiple sectors.

Three one-day courses will be available between 15 and 17 September. The first will look at Disney’s approach to leadership, while the second will look at selection, training and engagement. The final session on 17 September will look at the company’s approach to quality service.

Each eight-hour session will include an instructor-led workshop, with an on-site experience taking participants out of the classroom and into the resort so they can get a first-hand look at Disney’s operating practices.

The Institute – which is accredited by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) offers a one-day course at US$1,250 (€1,112, £797), while a multi-day package costs US$4,620 (€4,111, £2,944).
