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
