Frequently asked questions
Our training courses impart practical knowledge about guest care, service quality and professional work in the hotel and restaurant business.

Depending on the course, modules on personnel management, language skills or marketing are also included – for an all-round qualification.
Most courses are designed in such a way that you can join even without industry-specific training. Some experience in service or customer care is helpful, but not compulsory. A good knowledge of German (at least level A2) and enjoyment of working with people are the most important prerequisites.

Thanks to flexible learning models, you can choose whether you want to attend full-time or part-time.

In the hotel industry, a good knowledge of German is essential – knowledge of English is also a great advantage, especially in contact with guests.
