Most frequent questions and answers

Applicants are expected to have completed secondary education. However, selection is not based on academic results alone. Motivation, communication ability, and a genuine interest in hospitality are equally important. Our admissions team will guide each applicant to the most suitable programme based on their background and career goals.

Our programmes are strongly practical in nature. While essential theoretical knowledge is provided, the core emphasis is on hands-on training, industry-relevant skills, and real-world hospitality practices that prepare students for professional environments.

Graduates can pursue careers in hotels, resorts, restaurants, airlines, cruise lines, event management companies, and other hospitality-related sectors. Many also progress to supervisory or management roles with experience, both locally and overseas.
