Imperial Hotel Management College

I’m not a student here, but I am a huge fan of their events. I consider myself a foodie, and the quality of the food at their events at the Four Seasons was fantastic. The students put together some pretty top-​notch events. I’ve been to many of these types of events, and I can say theirs are some of the best. I especially appreciate the advice they gave me on tasting and serving wine. They have a lot of really knowledgeable people on staff that have made me a better host and cook. I would recommend the College to anyone serious about a career in the hospitality industry.

I know a few very good friends graduated from this institute a few years ago.
Never heard of this place as I don’t think they advertise but only rely on word of mouth.
Due to all the guest speakers visiting, daily training placements, field trips, I was told they are pretty strict on punctuality and everyone must be in business attire at all times. They even checked my friends’ nails, hair, colour of socks?
I went to a couple of their events as guests and they were a lot of fun; wine tasting of some sort in a downtown Four Seasons hotel suite and another table manners workshop in a French restaurant. They said some activities are free but other optional ones may cost extra.
Through them, even though I’m not a student, I picked how to order wine in restaurants and how to properly eat bread, and how not to waste fine scotch with ice.
When asked if it was worth the tuition, the general consent was that if you are serious about getting to know the hotel industry or wanting to learn about luxury lifestyle, then yes; if you’re looking for a diploma mill, there are cheaper and less serious options.
Most friends ended up accepting job offers upon graduation, or transferred to Switzerland to get their degrees afterwards.

IHMC organizes fantastic field trips in the hospitality industry. I was very surprised at how much I loved participating in these tours. I have only been a student of the college since August and I am loving it! The instructors are all very nice and are generally concerned about my progress. Chris gives constructive criticism and helpful pointers, regarding my preparation to enter the professional world.
