New hospitality college to open soon

Next Saturday, May 23, all the newly-signed-up students of Eastern Africa’s latest and arguably best addition to the region’s hospitality and tourism training colleges, the Boma International Hospitality College, in partnership with Alpine Center, will be inducted into their courses. This is the inaugural intake of what promises to become one of Eastern Africa’s most sought-after, hands-on vocational and tertiary institutions of its kind, made possible by the unique partnership forged between Boma Hotels and Alpine Center of Switzerland.

Certificate and diploma courses, lasting between one and two years each, are on offer for a range of functions in the hotel industry, and over and above that, Alpine Center is offering one of their advanced diploma courses for hospitality management, which will take three years to complete.

According to information available, there has been a notable rush of students previously studying in other such institutes, who had come to realize that apart from fancy brochures and glitzy websites, there was not much substance where it was needed, i.e., in the classrooms and in the practical applications studies, asking to join the new college, besides school leavers seeking a career in an industry where job opportunities are now a worldwide option. Many Kenyans are now working as expatriates in the Gulf countries and even on major cruise ships.

Courses will officially commence on Monday, May 25, and from personal inspection of the facilities, it is clear that all systems are showing green lights for launch.
