Un master che cambia davvero il modo di lavorare nell’hospitality.

Ho completato il Master in Hospitality Management dell’Istituto Europeo del Turismo e posso dire che è stato un percorso estremamente formativo e concreto.
I contenuti sono chiari, aggiornati e orientati alla pratica: gestione operativa, KPI, leadership, revenue, front office, F&B e organizzazione aziendale.
La parte che ho apprezzato di più è la struttura del programma, pensata per chi lavora già nel settore e vuole fare un salto di qualità verso ruoli manageriali.
Il project work finale permette di applicare subito ciò che si impara, mentre il supporto dello staff è sempre puntuale e disponibile.
Consiglio questo master a chi vuole crescere professionalmente e acquisire una visione manageriale completa del mondo alberghiero.

Ho scelto di frequentare l’Istituto Europeo del Turismo in un momento in cui sentivo il bisogno di dare una direzione concreta al mio percorso nel mondo dell’ospitalità.
Non è stato solo un corso, ma un vero viaggio di crescita: mi ha permesso di unire le mie competenze creative con una visione più strategica e gestionale, aiutandomi a vedere gli immobili non solo come spazi, ma come esperienze da costruire.
Ho trovato un percorso completo, stimolante e ben strutturato, capace di trasformare teoria e passione in strumenti reali.
Lo consiglio a chi vuole fare un passo in più, con consapevolezza, nel settore dell’ospitalità extra-alberghiera!
Response from the owner:Ciao Robina, grazie per il tuo feedback!

I highly recommend the Luxury Hospitality course with Prof. Danilo Di Pasquale for the excellent quality of the content, professionalism, and expertise demonstrated throughout the programme.
Even though I followed the lessons after the course had officially ended, all materials were always available and I received full support whenever I had questions or needed clarification.
A valuable learning experience and absolutely worth the investment.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback. :)

I took part in the Online Course in Luxury Hospitality because I got a job in a luxury hotel and wanted to get to know the luxury world better in order to relate better with management, colleagues and guests.
It gave me a lot of useful knowledge to adapt very quickly to the new job and I also learnt necessary terminology.
It was a very interesting and useful course.
In the event of problems on scheduled days, I was always notified in good time and received immediate support from the education contact person for new dates and times.
In addition, the reserved area with the recorded lectures was very useful for reviewing and integrating notes. In addition, the quizzes at the end of the course were excellent for testing learning.
I also received the dadictical materials used in the virtual classroom and the text, before the lectures, which helped me to write the final project. I highly recommend the course.
Response from the owner:Hi Erika, thanks for your feedback! :)

The online master's course in Luxury Hospitality was useful and well structured. The content was interesting and applicable, and the staff was competent, helpful and professional at all times. The only aspect that I regretted a little was the change in the course schedule, which meant that I was unable to attend a couple of the lectures. However, thanks to the recordings, I was still able to catch up with them without difficulty. Overall, a very positive experience that I would recommend.

Last month I concluded the course with a very satisfying work experience! I was followed from the very beginning with the support of Dr. Ilenia Frachiolla, who was available and attentive to my every need or doubt! The course took place in the beautiful city of Bari with the theoretical phase in the laboratory and on the yacht, followed by Chef Marco!

Here we are with my review. I apologise in advance for the delay in posting. What can I say? The onboard chef course was held in Bari in October. Bari is wonderful, from what little I was able to see. The IET staff (including the chef) are knowledgeable and helpful. Of course, if you arrive a little early, they certainly don't make you wait outside; on the contrary, they do. The doctors and their representatives welcome you with an extraordinary smile. A smile that's not entirely expected first thing in the morning. The course lasted five days. The first three were enough to gain the most important knowledge and learn some truly practical recipes, suitable for onboard cooking. The other two days took place literally "onboard" a yacht docked in the city port, not far from the city centre. Some of my companions struggled with seasickness there, while others proved to be sea dogs capable of handling the situation. It's worth considering better management of the onboard space. My only observation: the price is worth it. I only give 5 stars after signing a boarding contract. Thanks, regards.

This year, I took the master's degree courses in hospitality management, and I must say that I really enjoyed them. The lessons were very easy to follow, both online and recorded, and all the teachers were very knowledgeable, empathetic, and helpful. All the modules were very interesting and well presented. The administrative and secretarial staff were always helpful and friendly. I am satisfied with the course and am now confidently awaiting my certificate and the opportunities that this investment will bring. I recommend it, thank you all.

I took part in the Mystery Guest course thinking it would be enjoyable and informative, but it exceeded my expectations. The two teachers were very knowledgeable and the lessons and their explanations were extremely effective. They were also pleasant people with whom we could have a laugh from time to time. The tutor, Ilenia, was very efficient before, during and after the course and very attentive to the human aspect of us learners.
I am very satisfied, with everything!

I attended the wedding planner course and was very satisfied with it. The teachers presented the topics in a very clear and comprehensive manner, enriching the lessons with useful information, especially on the timeline and the actual organisation of the event and the wedding day itself. My only criticism is that perhaps too much time was devoted to explaining and creating sketches.
A wonderful experience that enriched me both personally and professionally, thanks above all to the high level of expertise of the teachers.

The online Concierge course proved to be a valuable learning experience. The quality of the teaching programme was high, with well-structured content that was up-to-date with the needs of the hospitality industry.

The lecturers proved to be highly professional, imparting not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills essential for the role. Thanks to their direct experience in the field, they were able to offer concrete examples and useful tips for dealing with real situations.

An added value of the course was the presence of a personal coach, who guided us along the way by helping us to understand how to manage emotional stress, to understand the importance of active listening, and to recognise communication traps. These tools turned out to be fundamental not only for dealing confidently and professionally with clients, but also for how to handle situations in the family.

The practical approach was a key element: through simulations, exercises and case studies, I was able to put some of the lessons I had learnt into practice.,

Overall, a useful course that I recommend to anyone who, like me, wants to excel in the hospitality industry. .

It was a wonderful experience, and from the very first day I got on very well with the other students and all the teaching staff, who were welcoming and professionally impeccable.

The hostess/steward course was an extraordinary and highly educational experience. From day one, I had the opportunity to learn the specific skills needed to work in an exclusive and dynamic environment such as that of yachts. The course covered a wide range of topics, from customer service management to mise en place and safety management at sea.
The director and course instructor, both professionals with extensive experience in the sector, were able to convey not only the necessary technical skills, but also the importance of the elegant and discreet approach that characterises service on board luxury yachts. They also managed to instil in us their passion for the sea, making each lesson even more engaging and stimulating.
Another highlight of the course was the practical aspect of boat maintenance and managing confined spaces on board. The lessons were highly interactive, with a mix of theory and practice that made learning very engaging and useful. In addition, I had the opportunity to network with industry professionals and gain a better understanding of the real career opportunities that the world of luxury yachts offers.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to pursue a career as a yacht hostess/steward. It is a unique opportunity to acquire specific skills, work in an exclusive sector and have the chance to grow professionally in a stimulating and prestigious environment. A truly worthwhile learning experience!
