Media Release 15 July 2010
Swiss Hospitality Education. Top notch Australian Hotel Management School.
Right here at INTI.
‘Malaysia, Truly Asia’ can be said to be one of the most remembered tourism taglines the world over, with captivating images of pristine beaches, rainforests and glorious food adding to the lure of Malaysia, which is clearly a preferred tourist destination as the United Nations World Tourism Organization has ranked Malaysia as the ninth most travelled destination in 2009. This bodes well with the current demand for trained workers and professionals in Malaysia’s hospitality industry and in line with this increase in demand, the INTI Education Group is proud to announce a new diploma in hospitality, offered at its Subang Jaya campus – a programme that will offer a highly personalised hospitality education and training that will produce industry-ready graduates.
In affiliation with Australia’s Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School (BMIHMS), the INTI Diploma in Hotel Management is modeled after the world-renowned Swiss Hospitality Education framework, combining theoretical knowledge with skill-based training. Students in this programme will receive dual awards; the INTI Diploma as well as the International Diploma in Hotel Management awarded by BMIHMS. This two-and-a-half year course will provide a global study perspective and hands-on training opportunities for students as they will be learning and working with some of the best experts from the industry, worldwide. A brand new campus equipped with comprehensive facilities and amenities will offer state-of-the-art simulated environments, from front office management, food and beverage and housekeeping training. There will also be three fully functional kitchens that will cater to food preparation, actual cooking and a specialized area for desserts and pastries. The new hospitality wing is located in the Metropolitan campus in Subang Jaya, a convenient spot for local and international students.
INTI Education Group has been part of Laureate International Universities network since 2008 – the world’s largest and fastest growing private education network. Some of the world’s top names in hospitality are within the Laureate network and these include Les Roches International School of Hotel Management and Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland and Kendall College, one of the top 10 culinary schools in the USA. Among the many benefits stemming from the Laureate synergy include global articulation programmes and student mobility initiatives such as the Semester Abroad Programme (SAP) which enables INTI students to spend a full semester abroad at a Laureate institution of choice paying local fees.
Established in 1991, BMIHMS was the first hotel school in Australia to promote an internationally recognized hotel management education, and they have been delivering the world-famous Swiss Hotel school model of teaching and learning since. Well-known as a provider of personalised, boutique-styled hospitality education, BMIHMS became a part of the Laureate Hospitality Network in 2008. In November 2009, the school received the prestigious Gold Award for Tourism Education and Training at the New South Wales Tourism Award, Australia, as a first-time participant. The Award is considered one of the most prestigious and coveted prize in Australia’s tourism industry.
The first intake of students for the new INTI Diploma in Hotel Management is now open. Call 1-300-88-INTI (4684) or log onto www.newinti.edu.my for more information.
