The college’s facilities are the best and the staff are always friendly and ready to help. The instructors are probably the biggest asset because they know what the hospitality industry expects from you, they are always willing to help you achieve your best, and they have many years of industry experience so they know what they are talking about! The program exceeded my expectations and I started working in a management position in the industry before graduating.
