Dusit to launch Asean-centric hospitality school

“Developing and nurturing homegrown hospitality talent is crucial for our tourism industry,” said Dusit International Managing Director and CEO Chanin Donavanik. “Dusit Thani Hotel School’s focus on sound theoretical instruction, on-the-job training and communication skills will allow more young people the opportunity to have a career in hospitality and make a lasting, positive contribution to the industry as a whole.” 

Dusit Thai Hotel School will offer a complete curriculum at both certificate and diploma levels, covering all areas of hotel operations. It will be operated separately from Dusit Thani College where those wishing to further their studies may transfer their credits to enroll in the college’s bachelor and master degree programmes. Additionally, credits from the Dusit Thani Hotel School are transferable to higher education institutions throughout the country. 

Located in central Bangkok, it can accommodate up to 1,300 students. The premise houses 9 classrooms, 2 language laboratories, 2 IT laboratories with the latest industry software programmes, 3 demonstration kitchens, 3 practical kitchens, and mock-up rooms of key hotel areas, such as front office, housekeeping, restaurant, and bar.

The school’s curriculum has been designed with different entry and exit points, allowing for a flexible programme students can tailor to suit their professional goals.  No matter which path they choose, they will acquire the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge to enter the hospitality field upon graduation anywhere in the Asean Economic Community.

The division has witnessed success from Dusit Thani College and a first-of-its-kind joint venture with Le Cordon Bleu Dusit Culinary School.
