At the Swiss Education Group, we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to learning and our ability to be agile and flexible when it comes to meeting our students' and industry partners' needs. The launch of our online learning platform is a significant milestone in building a continuous lifelong learning hub. Regardless of where you are located, you can now access our certificate programmes at affordable prices.

Our online certificate programmes are designed by our expert faculty in collaboration with industry experts. They focus on specific subjects of high relevance for the current hospitality demands. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate from one of our schools, SHMS Swiss Hotel Management School, Hotel Institute Montreux, and César Ritz Colleges Switzerland.

Our programmes vary in duration - either two, three, or four weeks in length - and require around five hours of focused work per week. We offer both self-guided and guided learning certificate programmes comprised of short but inspiring lectures and practical learning guidance, followed with thorough tutorial feedback and support. You can expect top quality content, i.e. videos, presentations, industry leader interviews, and webinars - and because classes are limited to a maximum of 25 students, we are able to maintain that personalised connection.
