Postillion Hotels Netherlands has become the first major Dutch hotel group to be officially accredited as a learning facility.

Postillion Hotels Netherlands has become the first major Dutch hotel group to be officially accredited by the Learning and Performance Institute (LPI). The LPI's Accreditation is recognised as the de facto standard in the Learning and Development industry and a differentiator for organisations that hold the accolade.

Postillion Hotels already offer high-quality conference, dining, wedding and meeting rooms to guests in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. This accreditation means the group can now extend the provision to highly suitable learning venues for corporate customers.

Erik-Jan Ginjaar, Director, Postillion Hotels, said: "We are honoured to be the first learning facility in the Benelux region to receive the LPI accreditation. For the past couple of years the Postillion staff has worked towards this accreditation with admirable dedication and therefore I am proud to reward them with this achievement. Our Meet Work Stay concept has been and will be a core focus of all Postillion Hotels, and offering high quality learning facilities is an important aspect within this concept.”

The Learning and Performance Institute pointed to the excellent room facilities, a proven and robust booking system and process for client needs to be captured pre-event, for the approval of Postillion Hotels' accreditation.

Edmund Monk, Managing Director, LPI, said: "Having the LPI's impartial, internationally-recognised accreditation assures prospects that Postillion Hotel venues provide everything they need to hold successful learning events. The accreditation demonstrates not only the quality of their facilities and services, but also the organisation’s strong commitment to high quality and standards. I would like to congratulate the team at Postillion for their strategic vision and hard work in achieving this accreditation."

Henriette Kloots, Global Channel Manager, LPI, said: "I am very pleased that we have our first accredited learning facility in the Benelux region, Postillion Hotels. The chain has worked really hard on its brand for the last couple of years and delivered many unique hospitality services. Although L&D is making a transition towards more online and remote ways of learning, classroom training will always stay in place - and maximising the learning outcome is highly dependent on the facility. Postillion Hotels shows with all of their locations that they are taking learning very seriously."

Accreditation comes into effect immediately.
