The AHA-IHMS main competitive difference is our internationally renowned structured USA internship program and career placement support.
The AHA USA Internship Program is an integral part of all diploma programs at AHA-International Hotel Management Schools. For most of our students, this internship will be their first working experience in the global hospitality industry. With 20 years of proven training experience, AHA USA provides students with world class practical training at some of the most prestigious hotels and resorts in the United States.

Utilizing the internship experience and the AHA-IHMS’ network of prestigious industry contacts in the USA and worldwide, AHA-IHMS is in an ideal position to support students beyond graduation, paving their way into a successful career in the hospitality industry through career placement and counseling services.
AHA-IHMS supports students during their program of study by including job search, resume writing and interview skills as part of their coursework. AHA-IHMS does not guarantee employment or any specific level of compensation following completion of its programs and we make no claims regarding the income our students may expect on graduation. However, we do everything we can to maximize our students chances for employment by hosting job fairs at the school and inviting our industry partners to meet and interview our students in person.
