Established 1992 in partnership with Swiss Hotel Association (SHA) and the South Australian Government, the International College of Hotel Management (ICHM) prepares students for a successful career at the top end of the international hotel industry. ICHM was the first school outside of Switzerland able to offer the world-renowned Swiss Hotel Association Diploma of International Hotel Management. For more than a century, the Swiss Hotel Association (SHA) has been the official organisation for the hotel industry in Switzerland, setting the standards in hotel management education for the rest of the world to follow. “The quality for which the Swiss Hotel Association is famous is delivered in Australia by ICHM, young men and women can enrol in Adelaide and be confident that they will benefit from our reputation” Christoph Juen - General Manager, Swiss Hotel Association (SHA).

Programs:

On-Campus Study & Industry Training and Development (ITD)

To achieve the SHA Diploma, ICHM students spend 6 months each year for three years studying full-time on the campus; the second six months of each year they are sent for Internships which can be in Australia or overseas depending on the student’s preference. While on campus, students study practical subjects combined with business studies applicable to hospitality environments as well as other related industries. All new students live in ICHM’s modern on-campus accommodation complex comprised of villa style apartments.

Students that successfully complete the SHA Diploma can then study towards the ICHM Bachelor Degree, a university level qualification for those seeking the best positions in an ever competitive marketplace. Graduates are then able to gain direct entry into Masters Programs at various universities in Australia, Switzerland the United Kingdom and U.S.

ICHM graduates are on every continent enjoying successful careers; working as supervisors and specialists through to senior and general managers. Their employers range from boutique establishments to large multi-national hotels and resorts; many graduates are also employed in a business or managerial capacity across other non-hospitality related industries. An ICHM qualification truly is the passport to a successful career.
