At ASTHM, it is also believed that the correct attitude is fundamental to graduates success and the School goes to great lengths to instill the values of self discipline, respectful countenance and a positive attitude. To underline these values, it is insisted from the very first day that all students should dress as they normally would in actual employment. While this may seem somewhat overzealous, ASTHM firmly believes that discipline and attitude are the basis for a successful international career in hotel and tourism management. It is no exaggeration to suggest that these very qualities are the hallmarks of all ASTHM graduates.
