Rubbish.

I don't know about Malaysia, but I'm studying Hospitality and I learned things like Fine Dining service, Financial Accounting, learn how to use Opera, etc.

You need some background if you intend to go into Front Office or Managerial position.

If you want to be waiter all your life, then yeah, no need to study hospitality.

those are like basic things where u don need to study hospitality in order to know ... financial accounting ??? like credit debit ? the course teach u economics.. marketing too right... but all oso basics... not in depth

its like saying you study KOREAN language... after the course doesnt make u expert in korean language... just the basic hi bye stuffs

i taught few new staff to use OPERA .. they don have  backgrounds.. no cert nothing....fresh from high school... and they are doing good now... the opera they teach u in hospitality are again... basics... u learn more by working 1 month than studying 1 sem to "learn" opera

have u work in hotels or any hospitality related industries b4 ?
guess not based on ur reply

I believe both of you dont know who is kueks?
He is one of my early senior. working in hospitality industry for few years

Honestly, due to Hospitality require lots of technical and skill, learning processes doesnt take long and constantly performing it you will get it, as it OPERA system it is crafted by people it is mean for user-friendly not complication.

You learn finances, Accounting, Economy, Marketing. What is the purpose? Those knowledge is basic, School teach you in order for you to get ready for the real world outside.

You all forgot, getting certification is a stepping stone to the outside world. It is that, and that is no other value once you jump onto few organization, they are looking at personality and experience. Organization review your certification and do comparison with others. In reality, you are nothing but the same as the those without cert once you just joined any organization. What make you special is you can progress faster then them depending on performance. We are talking real world. dont expect high salary when you got your ceritfication

I didn't say its useless. Didn't u read my post? I said it is to aid u for promotion. If u aint performing u still the same than other non certificate employee got what I mean hmm?

1st of all

really love working in hotel ? serving customers everyday?

to be frank. a cert in hotel is useless. 99% of the subjects u study in so called hotel management also useless.

don waste ur money to study hotel management~~ better save the money... straight work in hotel (whichever dept u like ) and start gaining experience.

btw which dept u would like to join in hotel ? my current hotel has few openings if u would like to try

I think what kuek trying to say is cost effective. Investing money into this cost and the return of it investment is not as good as other courses?
