Modul University Dubai, a subsidiary of Dubai Investments, and Austria’s top international private university, has introduced an international course in hospitality management (ICHM), a state-of-the-art training program tailored for regional industry professionals.

The program, one-of-its-kind in the region, offers the secret to success with its flexibility, adaptability and budget-friendly structure delivered by world-class trainers.

Offered for first time outside of Austria by Modul University Dubai, ICHM is a highly regarded certification program with globally recognized certificates issued by the Vienna Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Students can define their individual certification journey which allows them utmost flexibility in planning and accommodate their career objectives, schedules and budgetary requirements whether they are seeking to start or further develop their careers in hospitality, said a statement from Modul.

The ICHM course program, covering the entire value chain from operations to management to finance, has been developed by Modul Tourism College of Vienna Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the world’s oldest institution offering education in tourism and hospitality.

The program is expected to play a key role in equipping human capital with vital industry skills in preparation for the Expo 2020 in Dubai.

Interested students pursuing the course, broken up into nine train-as-you-go Modules, have the option of completing six Modules to become Certified Hospitality Professionals in Marketing, Operations or Finance or opt for individual highly-in-demand Modules for a Certificate of Achievement, it said.

Zaid Maleh, the managing director of Modul University Dubai, said: "ICHM has been specifically customised to accommodate the regional industry requirements. Built with world-leading experts and aimed at servicing the fast-evolving hospitality and service industry requirements, ICHM addresses the imminent challenges faced by both employers and employees on a daily basis."

"Affiliated with a lot of the highest executives within the industry, ICHM has been the reason for the success of many of those leaders in the sector today," he stated.

Interested candidates can start their ICHM certification journey in November and December 2016 by joining either Strategic Marketing Planning in Hospitality or Managing and Leading People in Hospitality Modules, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
