Our focus is on practical as well as theoretical training, with emphasis on traditional values of service and hospitality.
OUR VALUES
Our brand is built on TRUST and INTEGRITY
“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching” – CS Lewis

CHANGE moves us forward
We recognise that change is vital for growth and development as a company and as a team. We continuously strive to improve our standards and seek new solutions for challenges that come our way. We never back down. We’re not afraid to try new things. We’re not afraid to fail and we acknowledge that positive change is necessary to become a leader in this field.
“ Be the change you wish to see in the world” – Gandhi
Our people are our CHAMPIONS
We invest in our people, who are our most valuable assets, our heroes and our champions. We teach the teachers, we uplift our staff and we nurture the future leaders of tomorrow. Hospitality is in our blood and we treat our clients, suppliers and our staff with dignity and respect. Our community is a diverse one and we are proud to call them family.

International Students
Students from other countries may study at International Hotel School upon successfully obtaining the relevant study Visas attainable from the South African Embassy or Consulate in their country of residence. No student may be registered for their programme until they are in possession of a valid study Visa. As the Visa regulations have changed in South Africa-please note that you may no longer be able to apply for/change your Visa status from within South Africa.
The valid study Visa is to be presented at registration.
Please note that according to South African legislation all international students require:
- A valid passport and study permit.
- Full medical cover with a South African based medical aid scheme.
- A proven ability to support themselves financially and to settle their fees.
Language requirement
The medium of instruction and examination at International Hotel School is English. International applicants for whom English is a second language may be required to undergo and pass specific language tests set by International Hotel School. All applications from international applicants are assessed individually.
Tuition Fees
Please note that all foreign students pay the same fees as South African students, but are required to pay their tuition fees in full before registration.
Most of the programmes commence in February and July of each year. Since it takes a lot of time to comply with all the necessary requirements, we recommend that you start with the application process as soon as possible.
The education consultants at each campus will be able to assist you and advise you with your application to ensure that you have all the required documents and processes in place.
