Is E-Cornell certificate in revenue management worth it?

About me:

  • I have been a receptionist in a 4* hotel for the past 4 years in France.

  • I have a master’s degree in economics (average or less than average european public school).

  • I’d like to learn and then find a job in revenue management, in France and maybe elsewhere after 3-5 years.

My question is:

Is the E-Cornell online certificate worth it? Am I going to actually build a solid foundation in RM? Or is it just a neat load of business BS with the Cornell logo on it, made to milk Cornell’s reputation into an additional revenue stream?(according to many anonymous reviews of the E-Cornell program in general, not about this specific certificate).

I might agree that paying $3,750 (or $2,625 when it’s on discount) might be too much for an online certificate without credit hours, but still I would go for it just because it has Cornell’s name on it. I think it might impress european recruiters, and give me some foundation in RM. I know that experience matters most, but I’m trying to get my foot in the door here.

Am I wrong in assuming this?

I’d love to hear all of your opinions, especially if you’ve already thought/studied this specific certificate program.

Here’s the link to the certificate program:

Also, feel free to suggest other online courses/roadmaps

Thank you!
