International School of Hospitality Management

What International School of Hospitality Management does

TISOH, The International School of Hospitality, is a privately held continuing-education institution headquartered at 3614 E Sunset Rd #110, Las Vegas, Nevada, in operation since 2006 and holder of ACCET institutional accreditation. It delivers hospitality-focused professional development through two diploma programs (Diploma in Hospitality Operations and an MBA-level Executive Diploma in Hospitality Operations) and a certificate catalog spanning event and wedding planning, hotel administration, food and beverage, hospitality human resources, leadership, marketing, revenue management, and professional presence. Named certifications include the Certified Professional in Guest Experience (CPGE) and CPGE-RS, and a branded CLIMB Professional Development framework supports both individual learners and corporate clients.

The school runs a hybrid delivery model combining live classroom instruction at the Las Vegas campus with pre-existing remote/online learning systems established before the COVID-19 pandemic. Programs are targeted at working professionals pursuing career advancement without a four-year degree, hospitality industry new entrants, and hospitality businesses seeking employee training and certification. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via online application and inquiry-based admissions, supplemented by a dedicated corporate training sales motion, on-campus and online bookstore channels, merchandise sales through TISOHshop, and a campus room-rental facility. Marketing relies on a multi-channel mix of blog content, organic social, email and SMS, career fairs, anniversary events (including the 20th Anniversary Gala at Aria Las Vegas on May 5, 2026), and earned media coverage in outlets such as Harvard Business Review, Business Insider, and Yahoo. Pricing for individual programs is not publicly disclosed; textbooks are listed between roughly $15 and $165 per unit plus Nevada sales tax.
