A number of activities are planned during the semester, where we strongly recommend our students to participate. These include Hostex, WOSA, Tastes of Cape Town, Gourmet Food Festival, making and tasting of your own wine and other outings and excursions.

These tuition fees are effective as of January 2011. The Private Hotel School reserves the right to change, with or without notice tuition and fees as it deems necessary.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

The syllabus offered by the Private Hotel School is partly paid for by the school, through our fee structure to the American Hospitality Academy—International Hospitality Management Schools (AHA-IHMS) at a cost of US$ 2000 per student. As much as we have built in a very small buffer to accommodate the rand dollar rate fluctuations, one needs to be realistic and plan accordingly. One of the ways that least effects you and at the same time secures the offset of fees we pay on your behalf is to change our rules to the extent that if any student leaves the course prematurely for whatever reason, irrespective of whether their fees are up to date, the licence fee of US$ 2000 will immediately become payable by the sponsor/parent at the current rand / dollar exchange rate.
