“LES ROCHES HAS AN INCREDIBLE REPUTATION AROUND THE WORLD AND THE SKILLS YOU ACQUIRE

HERE PREPARE YOU TO BE A LEADER FOR LIFE. “

I wanted to take a chance and change my career field to one that offered me international opportunities and to work directly with people. The expectation was to learn, share, grow and have fun.

I very much experienced all of this and more. With the job interviews and internship offers that I received, I would undoubtedly rank the experience as one of the best in my life.

Spain is an amazing place to be. This was my first time in Europe and I enjoyed every single minute. There is a lot to do for every one and the South of Spain is beautiful, lively, welcoming and respectful. It’s no wonder that Spain beats its own records for number of tourists each year. If given a choice I would love to retire here one day.

Another amazing aspect of the experience at Les Roches Marbella was the students who come from around the world to study here. They are defined by their unique experiences, their knowledge, confidence and caring nature, as well as sharing an ambition to lead the hospitality industry in the future. Apart from choosing a great career, I have made loads of friends for life.

During my studies the school also encouraged us to act on our own and instilled us with tools that give us an entrepreneurial approach to our future endeavors.

I have never been to a school where the teachers remember your name and provide such one on one attention. They were all masters of their disciplines and dedicated their time to help us make the most of each class and project.

My choice to study hospitality was reinforced by the school’s practical approach to teaching by use of experiential learning techniques in its real-world hotel environment. The hands-on experience and later the internship together with an intensive academic schedule was the ideal combination of skill sets that I needed to get started.
