STUDENT TESTIMONIALS FACILITIES Sam Choon Hong Graduated 2010 and currently working in the hotel industry I have made the right decision. I chose this course as it is a combination of theory and practical. I am now working in a well-known 5-star hotel as a concierge supervisor. I was promoted not long after I joined the Front Office. This is evident that my studies gave me the knowledge and skills needed to perform my job. I believe that with a strong background in the field of Hospitality Management, it is actually easy to secure a career in the services sector. Marion St Joan Galid Graduated 2013, currently working in the hotel industry I come from Sabah. The opportunities for those involved in the tourism and hospitality industry are tremendous in Sabah.
