The Hotel School

What The Hotel School does

The Hotel School is a private, for-profit vocational hospitality education institute headquartered in Kapashera, New Delhi, operating as a division of International Skills Academy Private Limited. Founded in 2011 with 11–50 employees, the institute runs three physical campuses (Delhi, Haldwani, Pithoragarh) and targets students completing secondary education (after 10th and 12th grade), hospitality career seekers, and career changers. Its core offering is a layered credential portfolio — short-term Hospitality Operations Assistant certificates (3 months), one-year diplomas, two-year advanced diplomas, three-year B.Voc degrees — covering food production, food and beverage service, front office operations, housekeeping, and tourism management.

The underlying technology is an experiential learning pedagogy supported by physical infrastructure: commercial training kitchens, bakery and confectionery labs, restaurant service simulation rooms, front office studios with PMS software, housekeeping labs with mock hotel rooms, and mock bar facilities. Curriculum is designed by industry figures such as Mr. S.K. Bhatnagar (former Vice-Principal, IHM Pusa, Delhi). All programs are NSQF-aligned and awarded by the Tourism & Hospitality Skill Council (THSC) under the National Skill Development Corporation, with NCVET recognition, and degree pathways are delivered in partnership with Lingaya's Vidyapeeth and JU University.

The business model is tuition-driven direct-to-consumer education: diploma programs priced at INR 1–1.30 lakh, degree programs under INR 3.6 lakh (effective cost below INR 2 lakh through an earn-while-you-learn year with paid industrial training stipends up to INR 8,500/month), and short-term courses at INR 60,000–80,000. GTM is primarily website-driven with social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), celebrity chef endorsements via Aspire magazine, and campus-based counseling. Placement outcomes are anchored by 50+ hotel training partners (Taj, Oberoi, ITC, Marriott, Radisson, IHG) and cruise line partners (Costa, Princess, P&O), with claimed 70–100+ international placements.
