Being at Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne with EHL, I have learned a lot more from professionals from within the industry. Learning from their experiences, knowledge and expertise and taking this information back with me made me understand how the business run and why the smallest detail could make the biggest impact. Being at EHL has taught me how to run a successful business”. Ms Elizma Hoffman, Head Therapist, Talise Spa, Dubai, Jumeirah International

Our Learning Philosophy

We base our learning on the Guru-Shishya philosophy, an ancient Indian tradition where the Shishya (disciples) lives with the Guru (teacher) until he has gained the explicit and tacit knowledge the Guru embodies.

Comparable to this, Lausanne Executive Education cohorts are small to ensure quality module leader-participant interaction. Our module leaders include EHL senior faculty, external industry experts and LHC consultants, all dedicated to guarantee that the participants are getting the best available in the industry.

Our selection of participants ensures that the transfer of knowledge and the global experience meets their learning needs through designed modules which target real problems to finding real solutions.

Further to this philosophy, we foster lifelong learning, reflected through our "Proficiency in Hospitality Management" (PHM) Advanced Certification. This certification is awarded to hospitality executives upon the completion of 20 days of Lausanne Executive Education with LHC within 3 years time. To reflect the ephemeral nature of knowledge in today’s world, this certificate is valid for 5 year.
