Training That Fits How Hotels Actually Work

Instead of relying only on hard-copy manuals, long documents or repeated verbal reminders, Custom Hotel Videos help hotels standardise training and respond quickly to the issues that show up in daily operations.

Built from your hotel knowledge

Videos can be based on your SOPs, operations manuals, brand standards, onboarding materials, department procedures, leadership messages or recurring issues identified through daily log reports.

Designed for practical coaching

Each video is short, clear and focused on what staff need to do. The aim is to make training easier to deliver, easier to remember and more consistent across teams, shifts and departments.

The Five Core Training Needs

The Custom Hotel Videos library is built around five practical needs that help hotels modernise training, support staff and address recurring service or operational issues.

1

SOP Modernisation

Turn outdated or underused SOPs into short, sharp visual training videos.

Best for:

  • Transforming operations manuals into practical staff training
  • Explaining key procedures step-by-step
  • Reducing confusion caused by outdated or hard-to-find documents
  • Helping new and existing staff follow the same process

We Scope the Format

We identify the clearest video topics, prepare the scripts and confirm whether each video is Basic or Enhanced / Interactive.

3

You Review

Scripts can be sent for approval before videos are produced.

4

Your Team Watches

Videos are delivered for onboarding, briefings, department training or ongoing coaching.

Additional Video and Training Options

Hotels can add extra Basic Videos, Enhanced / Interactive Videos, specialised training packs or LMS support according to the scope of each project.

🎬

SOP Bulk Buy Video Package

Transform your SOPs into short, sharp training videos with a bulk video package, then add a monthly package for nightly operations log updates or reactive training needs.

  • Bulk conversion of existing SOPs into staff-friendly videos
  • Short, practical scripts that simplify long procedures
  • Ideal for properties with a large SOP library to modernise

💻

LMS / SCORM Support

Separately scoped support for hotels that need LMS upload assistance, SCORM-ready packages, completion tracking or platform testing.

Choose the Right Video Format

Custom Hotel Videos can be produced as either a Basic Video or an Enhanced / Interactive Video, depending on the level of production and learner interaction required.

Basic Video

Clear, Branded Video Training

Best for straightforward training topics that can be explained using an approved script, branded visuals and a presenter or avatar.

Basic Videos can include:

  • Script development from approved client-supplied information
  • Hotel branding, colours, logo, avatar and selected voice
  • On-screen text, simple graphics and standard transitions
  • Supplied images or supporting visuals placed within the standard template
  • Delivery as a standard MP4 video
Leadership updates Service standards Policy reminders Onboarding topics Simple procedures
Enhanced / Interactive

More Detailed or Interactive Training

Best for topics that require additional production, system demonstrations, supporting resources or learner interaction.

Enhanced / Interactive Videos can include:

  • Knowledge-check questions or simple quizzes
  • Clickable links to approved documents, forms or online resources
  • Multiple screenshots, screen recordings or step-by-step system demonstrations
  • Additional b-roll, cutaway footage or more detailed editing
  • Clickable answer options, branching pathways or pause-and-select interactions
  • LMS, SCORM or platform-specific delivery requirements where separately scoped
Enhanced / Interactive Videos require additional scoping and may attract an additional production fee. Clickable links, quizzes and branching do not operate inside a standard MP4 and require a compatible interactive player, authoring tool or LMS.

Flexible Inputs

Every hotel is different, so the process can begin with the materials you already have — or help you create structure where documentation is limited.

If you already have documentation

We can review your SOPs, operations manuals, onboarding documents, brand guidelines, department procedures or leadership updates and turn the most important content into practical training videos.

If training needs are coming from daily operations

We can create targeted video topics based on recurring service issues, nightly operations log reports, manager feedback and reactive training needs, with your preferred approval process before production.

Build a Training Library Your Team Will Actually Use

Whether you need straightforward Basic Videos or more detailed Enhanced / Interactive training, Hotel Academy can help turn your hotel knowledge into clear, practical content for your team.
