All candidates will be provided with printed training material.  Practical tests will be based on skills which will be demonstrated in class. Students will have the opportunity to duplicate these skills under the guidance of an instructor before being tested on them.

Since the course material is printed in English, students are required to be proficient in this language so that they may keep up with the classes and answer written exam papers. It must be stressed however, that we will be testing content and that marks will not be awarded for spelling or grammar. Students will be required to meet minimum averages throughout the course, but are welcome to discuss their progress with either their trainer or the Private Hotel School Management.

Additional research may be required in order to complete assignments. Students may elect to do this research online, in libraries or by consulting local bookshops.
