Open Day for The IIE of Hospitality Service Management

There is a great need in Africa for academically trained hospitality professionals, particularly when one considers that many executive positions in the African hospitality industry are not filled by those from the continent.

The IIE School of Hospitality & Service Management – which has campuses in Rosebank, Johannesburg and in Newlands, in Cape Town – seeks to address the rapidly expanding need for service, hospitality and customer-centric education, spanning entry-level through to management-level qualifications.

When most people think of the hospitality and service industry, they often think of hotels and restaurants and little else. But the truth is hospitality and, especially service, is present in every company and business that has customers and is focused on meeting and fulfilling those customers’ needs satisfactorily.

Courses offered include the IIE Higher Certificate in Hospitality Management, the IIE Bachelor of Hospitality Management, the IIE Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Leadership and the IIE Advanced Certificate in Hospitality Management.

The IIE Higher Certificate in Hospitality Management is a full-time one-year course which also creates a pathway to enrol for the IIE degree. The IIE Bachelor of Hospitality Management is a three-year degree course. Both qualifications meet international standards and are available via distance learning.

There will be an Open Day at both campuses on Saturday, 29 October, from 08h00-12h30.
