Dusit Thani College (DTC) has been awarded the Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) certification to its new four-year International Bachelor Programme in Hotel and Resort Management taught in English, which will be launched in September 2012.

Lausanne Hospitality Consulting (LHC), the knowledge expansion subsidiary of EHL, managing the EHL supported schools network, is pleased to extend the club of high-end hotel schools to Bangkok, a flourishing Asian metropolis.

Dusit Thani College is a world-renowned educational institution established by Dusit International in 1993 and it is accredited by the Office of Higher Education Commission in Thailand. Their success is grounded in their approach to learning: seamlessly blending academics with real-life experience and grounding on both Thai and international standards of hospitality. To complement its demanding curriculum, DTC possesses state-of-the-art facilities including access to the adjacent Princess Hotel, with open-ended possibilities for transfer of knowledge.

As part of EHL certification, LHC will ensure that DTC reaches excellence in hospitality education. To achieve this, the "Qualified Learning Facilitator" (QLF), a unique Train the Trainer programme, has been delivered in February 2012 to 9 DTC faculty members. Additionally, LHC will support DTC in marketing, student recruitment and reinforcing its academic quality. Being part of the EHL community, DTC students from the International Bachelor Programme will have the possibility to study among the EHL school network on a case by case basis.

EHL and LHC look forward to this new relationship and to meeting the students of this newly developed International Programme.
