Accredited Programme
Aim of the Programme
The programme aims to introduce Students to the field of hospitality and all its vital areas, by helping them comprehend, evaluate and analyse principles through the application of knowledge they have gained.
More specifically, it aims to familiarize Students with the different departments within a hotel unit and teach them how to operate hotel services such as, front office, food & beverage services and operations, customer service, housekeeping, event and leisure services properly and efficiently.
The programme broadens students’ knowledge through visits to hotels and tourism related businesses. Furthermore, students will be able to apply the knowledge they have gained in theory lessons when they participate in the 12-week long compulsory industrial training work placement schemes organized by the college and approved by the Ministry of Education & Culture.
Intended learning outcomes:
Language of instruction: English.
Evidence of knowledge of English
Candidates whose native language is not English will be required to produce evidence of proficiency in written and spoken English, such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT) with a score of 46-59, the IELTS with a minimum score of 5.5, the GCE O.L or I.G.C.S.E in English language with a passing grade of at least “C”, or any other equivalent internationally recognized examination.
Foundation Year
In case evidence of any of the aforementioned qualifications is not provided, the candidate will be expected to pass the College’s English Language Test, (CELT). The College is using the internationally recognized Oxford placement test. If candidates do not succeed in this test they will be classified according to their score in one of the levels of Intensive English Courses, as indicated below, and they will be automatically registered in the Foundation Programme. This can only occur if Students satisfy all other admission requirements.
