Certified Chief Engineer (CCE) Training: Consists of an online study-guide and with full price also a hard copy of the study guide, tutorial, practice exams and exams for limited service hotel properties, low-rise lodging facility engineers, and No. 2 or promotion tracked engineers for resorts and full service properties. This course is a little less demanding than our CDOE, but both curriculums include information related to the planning and organizing of tasks, overviews of hotel building systems, and the building facade and grounds. It also provides financial and ethical skills required to operate effectively within a hotel organization. The limited service property study guide curriculum spends less time on management and OSHA principles and requirements. Its chapters focus on low-rise wood-frame building construction. The CCE study guide provides an additional discussion of PTAC units with a detailed look at moisture infiltration and thru-wall penetrations not found in our CDOE program. Both of NAHLE’s professional curriculums are intended to be comprehensive and cover most all hotel building and lodging facility engineering subjects including: HVAC, plumbing, electrical, lighting, landscaping, swimming pools and vertical transport, among others.
