Mid-Valley International College: School of Hospitality Management

What Mid-Valley International College: School of Hospitality Management does

Mid-Valley International College (MVIC) is a private, Kathmandu-based educational institution founded in 2010 that delivers international-credential programs to Nepali students across two product lines: three honors bachelor degrees (Business Finance, Hospitality Management, Information Technology) affiliated with HELP University Malaysia, and a portfolio of City & Guilds UK-accredited vocational diplomas and certificates in culinary arts, patisserie, and barista skills. Revenue is generated primarily through annual tuition fees (Rs. 1,61,650–1,86,000 per year, approximately $1,400–$1,600), supplementary university examination fees ($400–$600 per year), one-time admission/registration fees (~Rs. 50,000 / $100), and ancillary fees from City & Guilds diploma programs.

The underlying technology stack is modest: a Learning Management System (LMS) hosted via HELP University's platform (hlms.help.edu.my) for course delivery, a Pearson PTE English-proficiency testing center on campus, and a digital badge credentialing system issued through City & Guilds. MVIC does not develop proprietary software and offers no public or partner APIs. Distribution combines on-campus enrollment in Kathmandu, school-level recruitment across Nepal, and a self-serve online admission portal, supported by Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Instagram marketing channels.

The go-to-market motion leans on international differentiation: credit transfer pathways into Bangor University UK, Southern Cross University Australia, and The Hotel School Australia; an internship network spanning 8+ countries including Marriott (Dubai), Banyan Tree (Doha), Hyatt Regency Kathmandu, and Ramada; and a flagship Japan internship-and-placement program via Mensyoku Co. Ltd offering free 1,200-hour Japanese language training plus paid internships and post-internship job offers up to Rs. 200,000/month. The institution is privately held with 1–10 employees, no disclosed parent company, no subsidiaries, and no institutional investment.
