Students of the IHT Hotel School (Pty) Ltd study towards a Diploma in Hospitality Management. This three-year diploma is a career directed learning programme, which seeks to train and develop learners with the necessary knowledge and skills required of personnel employed in a hospitality establishment at a supervisory operative level. IHT Hotel School (Pty) Ltd opened its doors in 1998 with a mere 10 students, and we are growing from strength to strength. The learning programme was originally bought from Regency Hotel School in Adelaide, South Australia. With the competent input of our excellently qualified academic staff, the programme was adapted and altered to meet the standards set by the Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC) of the South African Council on Higher Education and was accredited in March 2008. At the same time it was registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) with the SAQA ID Number: 63169. IHT Hotel School (Pty) Ltd is registered by the South African Department of Higher Education and Training as a Private Higher Education Institution with the Registration Certificate No. 2008/HE07008.
