EHL Vocational Education & Training (VET) Licensing

Ready-to-deliver hospitality training programs

Our Vocational Education & Training (VET) licensing program enables learning centers and organizations to implement ready-made Swiss hospitality training programs, thereby addressing two of the biggest challenges that tourism-developing nations face today: training qualified staff and contributing to long-term employment growth in service sectors.  

Under our VET licensing models, to obtain the Professional Diploma (in Kitchen, Service, Rooms or Hotel Administration) students must complete three certificates, requiring a total of 18 months of alternating courses and internships.
