information?
   As incredible as Ripley's museum !   ask for information
     
What they don't tell you when you register to a Hotel School
   
         
    Luxurious facilities of a Grand Hotel or a (former) Palace ...   Prestigious Palace facilities are not used as hotel schools ! And in addition, they pretend to be cheap :-)
         
    Too small is not beautiful
(a hotel management education requires specialized faculty)
   A handful of teachers will hardly be able to efficiently cover all required topics. To afford enough staff, a school has to have a sufficient size
         
    Memberships   Most schools (or their staff!) are member of numerous associations.
So what? You just have to pay the fees to be accepted ... why should this mater to you ?
         
    Accreditation, Affiliation   Membership is only relevant if it is given after quality assessment and if the assocition is a strong or official body. Beware of single member association!
         
    Recognized by ...   Ouah ... but at what level? What does this recognition really mean? Is it a quality label or just a tricky way to make you thingk that...
         
information?
   Established since ... years   What's the reference? The age of the (rented) building or of the owner? It takes time to be established and recognized. Only the years in existence as a real hotel school are important.
         
    Trivial and non relevant   Many things are obvious, others irrelevant. If pushed forward with enough conviction, they can "make a points". Ask yourself if such an argument can not be used be everyone
         
   

Facts and opinions
(opinions have the credibility of their emitter ... it is important - and difficult - to differentiate opinions and facts)

   Marketing gimmicks often rely on opinions. A leading school! The best of two Worlds ! Luxurious facilities! ... are obviously opinions, not facts. Ask who says this and evaluate if it can be trusthed.
