ICHM & 10 Reasons Why...

The International College of Hotel Management (ICHM) and Swiss Hotel Association (SHA) Degrees are based on the philosophy that a commitment to excellence and the finest education and training are essential for those people seeking the most sought after positions in the highly competitive hospitality industry.

 

The hotel management profession now exists on a global scale, meaning the successful hotel manager of today and the future, will need to have qualifications and experiences recognised to an international standard. Established in 1992 in partnership with the SHA and the South Australian Government, ICHM has gone on to produce graduates of the highest calibre working at all levels within the international hospitality industry.

 
While at ICHM students are broadly informed about all aspects of the international hospitality industry, from a basic operational perspective right through to a senior managerial level within broader social, cultural and economic contexts. They are then provided with real industry internships within Australia or overseas that allow them to learn the industry first hand beyond the walls of their structured classes. This real world experience is invaluable in helping them understand the theoretical concepts they have learnt within a working environment; it also allows them to build significant industry networks. ICHM graduates are working globally as supervisors and specialists right through to senior and general managers. A number also work outside the industry is areas such as marketing, IT, human resources and their own business’s.
