WHY THEY CHOSE SHL

Hear directly from our students about what inspired them to join SHL, what they value most about the programme, and how their experience is shaping their future in hospitality.

  • «What drew me to SHL was its close-knit, family-like atmosphere. Hearing classmates swap stories about internships and personal adventures, made me feel like I was stepping into a community. What I love most about SHL is how practical and relevant the lessons are. Whether it's learning what 'quality' means or breaking down business management, I see how these skills apply professionally and in everyday life.»

  • «What I like most about SHL - aside from the view - is the dynamic approach to learning, where theory and practice go hand in hand. The second thing that makes the school is the people. The faculty is highly professional and knowledgeable, with unique personalities that shine through genuinely. My class is wonderfully diverse, filled with amazing, funny, and caring individuals from different backgrounds.»

  • « In Mexico, I earned my Bachelor's in Business Administration and gained over seven years of experience. In Ireland, I discovered my passion for hospitality — the energy, human connection, and chance to create memorable experiences. SHL was a natural choice because of its reputation and blend of theory and practice. It’s helped me grow professionally and personally, shaping me into a confident future leader. What I value most is the supportive community and high standards that constantly push me to improve. SHL is truly preparing me to make a meaningful impact. »
