You might be familiar with the following scenario. The front desk is buzzing. A tour bus just pulled up, someone’s key card isn’t working, and the phone is ringing. In the middle of all that chaos, you have to navigate Opera PMS. It’s the system that’s supposed to keep things running smoothly, but when you’re unsure what to click, it just adds to the stress. 

We teach you how to make the system work for you, not against you, especially when things get busy. 

Why Opera PMS Is a Skill You Need

There’s a reason Opera PMS is everywhere. This system’s what keeps the hospitality world running smoothly, whether it’s a cosy little inn or a sprawling resort chain. It takes care of everything from reservations and check-ins to managing guest lists, handling bills, and churning out those crucial reports that help upper management make informed decisions. With the ability to deploy Opera PMS from the cloud and on premises, upgrades and transitions are common, which drives up the demand for trained users. 

Get quite proficient in the toolchain, and you’ll zip through your day with fewer slip-ups, keeping guests happy and coming back for more. It’s one of those essential skills that boosts your worth in the hotel industry. Perfecting it isn’t just about acing your current role, it’s a real stepping stone for your career down the line. 

Why Learning On the Job Is a Bad Idea

Sure, you can try to learn Opera PMS between check-ins. But that’s how mistakes happen. Fumbling through menus with a line of guests staring at you is a terrible way to learn. It’s stressful for you and bad for business. One wrong click can mess up a guest’s bill or double-book a room. 

Structured training lets you get all your mistakes out of the way first. Practise and perfect your capabilities in a safe controlled environment where you can reset and roll back any changes as you learn through things in your own manner. Establish a solid foundation that will provide you the strength to do confident and quick actions once you are involved in your real time work at the front desk. 

Our Training is Different. You Use the Real Software.

Forget slideshows and boring videos. We give you your own login to a full version of Opera PMS. It’s like a flight simulator for the front desk. 

In our structured Opera PMS training, you’ll be in the software, performing the exact tasks you’d do in a hotel. You learn by doing, which is the only way to build real skill and muscle memory. When you’ve done something a dozen times in PMS training, you won’t freeze up when it matters. 

Here’s Why That Hands-On Access PMS Training Changes Everything

• It feels real because it is. You’ll see the same screens, click the same buttons, and use the same tools as a live hotel. No fake menus or limited features.
• You can practise until it’s automatic. When a guest needs to split a bill three ways, you won’t have to think about it. You’ll just do it. That’s the confidence that comes from repetition.
• You can mess up without consequence. Want to see what a button does? Click it. Accidentally delete a reservation? No big deal. Just reset it and try again. This is your sandbox to learn in.
• You get proof of your skills. When you finish, you have a record of the work you’ve done. You can walk into an interview and not just say you know Opera PMS, but prove you’ve actually used it.

What You’ll Actually Do in the System

You won’t just learn theory. You’ll complete over 40 tasks inside the Opera PMS software and utilise the cloud training simulations. For example, you will:

• Book a block of rooms for a wedding party and manage their guest list.
• Set a weekend rate and program the system to close out availability when you’re almost full.
• Check in a walk-in guest, process their payment, and make their keys in under two minutes.
• Handle a late checkout by adding extra charges to the guest’s final bill.
• Run the end-of-day process, fix billing errors, and generate key reports.
• Change a room’s status from dirty to clean and see it update instantly on the dashboard.

We give you a printable guide after each exercise. These are perfect cheat sheets to keep at your desk when you start a new job.
