The ITHP recognizes that there are individuals who have extensive experience as hospitality professionals who have gained their skills and knowledge through formal education or on-the-job training. ITHP will grant the CHP or CTP certification based on the above without examination.
Members eligible for Certification via the Grandfathering Provision may apply directly to ITHP for the grant of CHP or CTP professional certification based on education, and experience in the appropriate areas of hospitality functions, which demonstrate their competency.
