Our aim at Boma International Hospitality College (BIHC), in partnership with the Business and Hotel Management School (BHMS) in Switzerland is to nurture your interest in the hospitality industry and empower your ambitions. We have developed a state of the art study programme designed to facilitate access to demanding, while rewarding careers.
Our curriculum maintains a strong emphasis on Swiss tradition of balancing theories with immediate practical applications within the key and most central operating areas, namely the Food and Beverage and Rooms Division departments of the Boma Hotel Complex, as part of the Applied Hotel Operations module.
Beyond the theory and practical applications at the College and at Boma Hotels, our programs include periods of externships at leading international and local hospitality brands, during which students are expected to demonstrate their skills, knowledge and attitudes under the direct monitoring of professionals who will do their best in providing guidance for their professional benefit. Our students may undertake PAID international internship programs in the United States of America, Middle East and the Caribbean as part of their study package.
The range of courses offered by BIHC continues to expand to match the growing needs of the Hospitality industry. They are ingeniously designed to prepare students for various positions in the hospitality industry globally, with Diploma and Certificate courses intakes conducted in January, May and September. We have also developed short courses in International Cookery and Pastry which run separately on weekends or weekdays throughout the year.
Through our Professional Hospitality Development Program, we have set out to train and re-train professionals across various departments of the hospitality industry through tailor-made programs and short courses in front office operations, food and beverage service techniques, professional chefs’ course and housekeeping and laundry operations, among others. This program, not only rejuvenates the learner by improving their skill-set but also affirms BIHC’s standing as a top national and regional leader in hospitality training
The College is fully equipped with modern training kitchens, training restaurants & bars and has access to all front and back-of-the house facilities of The Boma Hotels, including Front Office, Housekeeping, Spa and Health Club areas. We have recently expanded our facilities with the introduction of a new e-learning Resource Centre and lecture rooms equipped with the latest audio-visual equipment, labs and a computer centre. All students have online access to Internet, intranet and campus-wide wireless connection.
Our mission is to prepare our diverse student body for successful careers in the hospitality and tourism industry by providing them with relevant quality education and work experience to successfully operate service-oriented business entities.
