For more than a century, the Swiss Hotel Association (SHA) has set the standards in hotel management and education for the rest of the world to follow.
Founded in 1882, the SHA is the official organisation of the hotel industry in Switzerland and in 1893 it opened the world’s first hotel training school - Ecole Hôteliere de Lausanne - recognised as one of the best European style hotel management school.
In 1992, the Swiss Hotel Association played a major role, together with the South Australian Government, in the formation of ICHM. ICHM is the only school outside Europe that offers the most famous of hotel qualifications - the Swiss Hotel Association Diploma of International Hotel Management. It is the emphasis on industry relevance, close links with industry and academic strengths that sets the
SHA schools apart.
The Swiss Hotel Association has been working with the International College of Hotel Management for almost fifteen years. In fact, this was the first time that we had offered our world-famous diploma outside Switzerland. The quality for which Swiss Hotel Association is famous is now delivered in Australia by ICHM, and young men and women can enrol in Adelaide and be confident that they will benefit from our reputation. Many students will also benefit from the possibility of studying in Australia and its proximity to the dynamic Asia Pacific Region. We are proud of this successful partnership!
