Graças à internet e ao interesse de muitos centros universitários em “democratizar” a educação, milhões de pessoas têm acesso a cursos online sem ter que pagar quantias exorbitantes e tampouco sair do país.
Em um mundo cada vez mais digital, a linguagem de programação de computador ultrapassou a fronteira do mundo acadêmico e do universo geek para se tornar acessível a uma parcela mais ampla da população.
A BBC News Mundo, serviço em espanhol da BBC, selecionou alguns cursos nesta área que estão disponíveis na internet.
Universidade de Harvard
Introdução à Ciência da Computação
Nome oficial: CS50: Introduction to Computer Science

Hello!
cognos.space, Thanks for keeping a thoughtful corner of the internet alive.
I recently published my ebooks and training videos on
https://www.hotelreceptionisttraining.com/
They feel like a hidden gem for anyone interested in hotel and management. These ebooks and videos have already been welcomed and found very useful by students in Russia, the USA, France, the UK, Australia, Spain, and Vietnam—helping learners and professionals strengthen their real hotel reception skills. I believe visitors and readers here might also find them practical and inspiring.
Unlike many resources that stay only on theory, this ebook and training video set is closely connected to today’s hotel business. It comes with full step-by-step training videos that guide learners through real front desk guest service situations—showing exactly how to welcome, assist, and serve hotel guests in a professional way. That’s what makes these materials special: they combine academic knowledge with real practice.
With respect to the owners of cognos.space who keep this platform alive, I kindly ask to share this small contribution. For readers and visitors, these skills and interview tips can truly help anyone interested in becoming a hotel receptionist prepare with confidence and secure a good job at hotels and resorts worldwide. If found suitable, I’d be grateful for it to remain here so it can reach those who need it.
Why These Ebooks and Training Videos Are Special
They uniquely combine academic pathways such as a bachelor of hospitality management or a advanced hotel management course with very practical guidance on the hotel front desk job duties. They also cover the hotel front desk job description, and detailed hotel front desk duties and responsibilities.
The materials go further by explaining the reservation systems in hotels, check-in and check-out procedures, guest relations, and practical guest service recovery—covering nearly every situation that arises in the daily business of a front office operation.
Beyond theory, my ebooks and training videos connect the academic side of resort management with the real-life practice of hotel front desk duties and responsibilities.
– For students and readers: they bridge classroom study with career preparation, showing how hotel management certificate programs link directly to front desk skills.
– For professionals and community visitors: they support career growth through interview tips for receptionist, with step-by-step questions to ask a receptionist in an interview. There’s also guidance on writing a strong receptionist job description for resume.
As someone who has taught hotel and management courses for nearly 30 years, I rarely see materials that balance the academic foundation with the day-to-day hotel front desk job responsibilities so effectively. This training not only teaches but also simulates real hotel reception challenges—making it as close to on-the-job learning as possible, while still providing structured guidance.
I hope the owners of cognos.space, and the readers/visitors of cognos.space, will support my ebooks and training videos so more people can access the information and gain the essential skills needed to become a professional hotel receptionist in any hotel or resort worldwide.
Wishing you continued success with your site—truly.
