Swiss Hotel Management School (SHMS) has signed a partnership deal with spa software company TAC which will see students benefitting from practical guest services training.

Students on SHMS's spa- and hotel managers course will be able to practice spa management at the school's on-site training spa with Reservation Assistant, the spa and activity management software by TAC.

During seminars the students learn how to use Reservation Assistant for providing guest services - including scheduling to personnel planning, stock management and guest relationship management.

The reports and statistics offered by Reservation Assistant can then be used to demonstrate how well the students performed.

Switzerland-based SHMS offers a wide range of academic programmes for both under- and postgraduates in spa and resort management; hospitality management; and restaurant events.

The Austrian software vendor TAC specialises in the development of software solutions for the spa and hospitality industry.
