WELCOME to the most exciting and fastest growing
industry in the world! Since 1986, the
American Hospitality Academy (AHA) has been working
with premier hotel partners in the United States,
including Marriott, Ritz Carlton, Hyatt, Sheraton
and Hilton, and has since become one of the world's
most well-known and respected providers of structured
training programs.
Over the years, our close working relationship with
our hotel partners has provided us with valuable
insights on the changing needs of the hospitality
industry in the 21st Century.
Driven by our pioneering spirit and determination to address these emerging
needs, specifically on education and training,AHA gathereda global team of noted educators, curriculum planners and distinguished industry professionals and challenged them to develop a career-focused curriculum that is responsive to the needs of the hospitality industry today.As a result in 2006, we created AHA International Hotel Management Schools (AHA IHMS) a world-wide network of schools aimed at providing every student at our global campuses with a unique learning experience. AHA-IHMS focuses on developing hospitality professionals who are critical thinkers and innovative leaders and can effectively lead multicultural teams. Our graduates are caring, respectful and confident individuals with strong work ethics and a positive attitude.
Our Competitive Edge
Our curriculum is carefully designed to combine innovative, leading-edge hospitality instruction with premier, tried and tested "real-world" USA internships. The cornerstone of our educational approach is the study of culture, and the ability of our students to understand, and respect different cultures and beliefs, in order to successfully manage within a multicultural workplace.
Our innovative career-focused degree and diploma programs provide AHA-IHMS’ students at all of our global campuses with the competitive edge they need to embark on an exciting career in the hospitality industry.
We take great pride in seeing our students grow as both exceptional leaders and exceptional people who have the passion and motivation to make a positive difference in the world.
I wish you luck and much success!
