The Hotelfachschule Bernkastel-Kues was founded in 1988. Bernkastel-Kues is located on the river Mosel in the west of Germany surrounded by its world famous vineyards.

We offer two different Hotel Management courses starting in the Summer of each year.

1. A traditional course of Hotel-School which is a two-year full-time course for students, who have successfully passed their two or three year apprenticeship as waiter, hotel specialist, hotel clerk or chef. This course is in the form of 14 units, in which each must be successfully finished. Having successfully passed the 14 units and the final examinations, the students’ degree will be “Staatlich geprüfte/r Hotelbetriebswirt/in (Master of Hotel Business Administration, MBA).

2. A vocational course for hotel management, where students with university entrance qualifications strive to a diploma in “Assistant in Hotel Management” consisting of a three-year programme. The attendance of this course enables its graduates to take up qualified employment in hotel and restaurant management, after a two-year scholar apprenticeship and a subsequent one-year vocational training.
