Developed in collaboration with corporate trainers, industry consultants, hotel managers, and front line employees, the Sunrise Basic Training Series covers more than 100 specific tasks and concepts on six full-length video programs: New Employee Orientation; Guest Service; Safety & Security; Front Desk; Housekeeping & Laundry; and Maintenance. 

The translation and conversion of the Sunrise Series was achieved with the assistance of Professional Advancement Enterprises of Grand Rapids Michigan, a leading international language consulting company that has completed dozens of translations for the hospitality industry.  Dr. Jorge Garcia, President of P.A.E., stresses the need for experienced translators. �The hotel business is very specialized, with many unique words and phrases,� said Dr. Garcia, �We have been working with the hospitality industry since 1990, and have developed an extensive list of Spanish hotel terminology which we used in converting the Sunrise Series.�

While the Sunrise Housekeeping and Laundry program was originally introduced in both English and Spanish, the translation and overdubbing of the rest of the Sunrise Series is a response to industry demand, according to Guy Armstrong, President of Innovision Media Concepts, Inc.  �Mid-market, budget, and economy properties have embraced this cost-effective training solution,� said Mr. Armstrong, �and many customers have asked for all of the programs in Spanish. The complete Spanish Sunrise Series now delivers the benefits of improved productivity, quality, and guest service to a more diverse, multicultural audience.�  

The Sunrise Basic Training Series delivers content in short, focused segments, beginning and ending with title screens, which enable managers and trainers to focus their audience on a specific task or concept, then pause for discussion and training exercises.  These short, focused segments also allow effective training to fit into tight hotel training schedules. Each program includes a Trainer�s Guide featuring content summaries, discussion questions, group activities, and a ten-question �quick quiz�, as well as a Certificate of Completion copymaster that can be personalized and awarded to successful trainees.

The six-tape Sunrise Basic Training Series is now available in English or Spanish for $299, with individual programs $99 each.  Innovision offers quantity discounts as well as savings on the Spanish Sunrise Series for hotels who have already purchased the series in English.  For a limited time, a combined twelve-tape English/Spanish package is available for only $499.
