Development of Learning Centres

LHC recognizes the importance of quality education to feed talent in to the fast-paced hospitality industry. We have experience in all aspects of launching and developing of learning centres—and we have done so worldwide.
With the vision of sharing the Swiss hospitality excellence, the development of learning centres has come a long way since the 1970’s.

Our approach is well modeled: LHC conducts an initial site visit of the school, if it is an existing one, or a meeting with investors who wish to open a new school i.e. a green field project. During the visit, LHC consultants study the aspiration of the school or its investors, its academic programme(s) and physical infrastructure. We also interview representatives of the local ministry of education (MOE), other hospitality schools, hoteliers and restaurateurs. The aim is to define a best-in-class school concept that is based on the local geo-political challenges of the region where each school is located.

• School Development Advisory
