The International Hotel School Accreditation

REGISTRATIONS AND ACCREDITATIONS

International Hotel School seeks to quality assure its programmes through membership of a number of bodies, both educational and professional, who have an interest in promoting high standards within the hospitality industry. Our courses are both nationally and internationally accredited, and we believe that learning should be reinforced with practical training in the workplace (work-integrated learning).
