Certplace Launches Certified Professional in Guest Experience (CPGE) Certification

Certplace, an organization dedicated to certification management, has announced the launch of the Certified Professional in Guest Experience (CPGE) certification. Developed with the expertise of The International School of Hospitality (TISOH®) faculty, who have created competency models used in recognized hospitality certifications, including the Certified Hotel Concierge, the CPGE aims to elevate service excellence across industries by equipping professionals with the skills to create meaningful guest experiences and foster customer loyalty.

The CPGE certification addresses critical gaps in outdated service training by focusing on practical competencies, effective communication, and actionable guest retention strategies. A product of intense research and rigorous evaluation, the program integrates a guest experience meta-model and a structured curriculum for maximum impact, setting a new benchmark for industry standards.

“The CPGE certification trains on service excellence by teaching service staff at all levels how to turn everyday customer interactions into lasting guest relationships,” said Jeanne Mills, Certification Council Chair- CPGE and CHC, Certplace. “It is about more than just exceptional service; it is about understanding and exceeding guest expectations to drive loyalty and business success.”

Highlights of the CPGE Certification:

• Proven Frameworks: Leverages the CLIMB® Guest Experience Model consisting of the principles of Discover Guests, Connect with Guests, Wow Guests, Empower Guests and Acknowledge Guests, to deliver actionable strategies for creating outstanding guest experiences.

• Tangible Results: Early adopters report improved guest satisfaction scores, better staff communication, and stronger customer connections.
• Professional Pride: Certification earns participants the right to use the CPGE title, along with a digital badge and certificate.

By connecting businesses and individuals across industries—including hospitality, retail, healthcare, and entertainment—with innovative guest service strategies, the CPGE certification empowers participants to enhance service delivery at every level.
