Training One Person Changes a Career. Training a Workforce Changes an Economy.

    The organizations that choose VET Licensed by EHL are building something that lasts. A team that performs, a workplace people choose, a local workforce ready for what comes next. VET Licensed by EHL brings EHL-standard training directly into your operation, delivered on the job by your own people. Whether you're developing a country's tourism sector or raising the standard of an operation that's already running, the decision is the same: invest in the people behind the experience.

    Wish To Improve Team Performance?

    Seasonal, inconsistent, or simply new. We train them without pulling anyone off the floor.

    You’re Building a Tourism Economy. Hotels. Who Will Run Them?

    A new tourism district, a national hospitality strategy, infrastructure going up fast… and no qualified local workforce ready to staff it when the doors open. You need more than a training program. You need a pipeline: people with real qualifications, trained in your context, ready before opening day.

    VET Licensed by EHL turns that challenge into something you can report on. Real jobs created. Real skills acquired. Real economic mobility for the communities your tourism strategy is meant to serve. This is social policy with a measurable return.

    You Have the Staff. Do They Deliver Memorable Experience?

    Every team has room to grow: new hires finding their footing, seasonal staff building speed, experienced people sharpening their craft. The answer isn't more hands on deck. It's training that's built into the way your operation already runs, without pulling anyone off the floor to get it.

    VET Licensed by EHL puts you in a different category: not just an employer, but a place people build careers. That changes who applies, how long they stay, and what your guests experience.

    Built Different. Here's Why It Works.

    When Your Team Performs, Everything Else Follows

    Train your people well and the effects compound. Guests come back. Investors commit. Operators trust you. The same logic applies internally. A well-trained team works with confidence. They don't burn out, don't get overwhelmed, and don't leave.

    That's a workforce that grows with you, instead of one you constantly rebuild.

    Where Training Happens on the Job

    Switzerland's vocational model runs on one principle: theory and practice happen in parallel. Your staff learn on the floor, in real situations, while the operation keeps running. Three streams: Culinary, F&B Service, and Hotel. One standard: EHL's.

    That's what makes it one of the most respected training models in the world.

    The Recipe: How We Work Together

    A Clear Path to Certification

    VET Licensed by EHL is structured around three professional streams: Culinary, F&B Service, and Hotel. Each is built on three certificate levels of six months. Every level is developed as an equivalent to EQF standards, so progression is transparent from foundation through to advanced practice.

    Level Culinary F&B Service

    Hotel
    Foundation 6 months 6 months 6 months
    Intermediate 6 months 6 months 6 months
    Advanced 6 months 6 months 6 months
    Already working in the trade ?

    A Shared Belief in Passing It On

    We've been giving back to this industry since 1893. So have you.

    One Partner for the Whole Industry

    Hospitality runs on every role. We train all of them.
    VET by EHL_Commitment

    We Commit to Our Partners As Carefully as You Commit to Us

    The selection isn't a gate. It's the start of the commitment. Due diligence goes both ways. Before we begin, we take the time to understand your organization to make sure we're the right fit for what you're building, and that we can genuinely support you through it.

    VET by EHL_foundation

    EHL Is a Foundation

    What drives us is a responsibility to give back to an industry we've been part of since 1893. That's a belief we hold: knowledge is worth passing on, and the industry gets stronger every time someone shares what they know with passion. Excellence isn't something we impose from a rulebook. It comes from actually caring about the craft, and about the people who carry it forward. That's what we recognize in a partner like you, and it's what makes this a collaboration, not a transaction.

    We Don’t Just Train Top Managers

    We train the people who make everything else possible. EHL's reputation was built at the top of the industry. But hospitality doesn't run on managers alone, it runs on the chef who shows up at 5am, the housekeeper who turns a room in eighteen minutes, the waiter who reads a table without being asked. VET Licensed by EHL exists for them too. We cover the full pathway: from first job, to supervisory role, to further education if they choose to go further. Whatever role your organization needs to develop, kitchen, service, rooms, front office, we can train it, at the standard it deserves. One partner, one standard, across every hospitality role your organization needs to grow.

    They Trusted Us With Their Projects

    Every partnership starts with a real organization, a real gap, and a real commitment to fix it. Here are some of the projects we have built together.

    Every Partnership Starts With a Conversation.

    Talk to Benjamin Robert-Charrue, our VET Licensed by EHL specialist

    Whether you have a fully formed project, an operation that needs fixing, or simply a question you haven't found the answer to yet.

    Benjamin-ROBERT-CHARRUE

    Good Questions. Honest Answers.

    The questions we hear most, answered as clearly as we can. 
    Five to eight months from partnership agreement to your first cohort starting training. That timeline begins with a thorough needs analysis, understanding your context, your operational constraints, and what the program needs to look like for your organization. From there, it covers curriculum implementation, trainer selection and certification, and EHL's validation of your setup before the first learner walks in.

    It is not a fast process, and that's deliberate. A program that can be stood up in a week isn't one worth putting EHL's name on.
    No. Every potential partner goes through a due diligence process before a license is granted. We assess your operational capacity, your commitment to the program, and your alignment with EHL's standards. The selection is part of what makes the certificate credible, and part of what makes it worth carrying.

    The EHL benchmark is consistent, that's what guarantees the certificate means the same thing whether it's awarded in New Delhi, Phu Quoc, Athens, or anywhere else the program is delivered. How the curriculum is delivered is adapted to your operational constraints, your cultural context, your local legal requirements, and your organization's identity. We standardize the quality. You shape the delivery.

    No. Graduates receive an EHL-issued Professional Diploma, not a Swiss government document. EHL controls the quality standards, validates the instructors, and issues the certification. In every market where the program is delivered, the EHL name carries practical weight that most countries recognize.

    Yes. Your own subject-matter experts, a senior chef, a veteran front office manager, can be integrated into the delivery once the appropriate framework is in place. Over time, that expertise becomes a permanent internal asset. The program doesn't replace your best people. It gives them a structure to pass on their expertise and passion.

    Your experienced people are exactly who we build the program around, they become the certified trainers who deliver it. What EHL provides is the curriculum, the pedagogical structure, the assessment framework, and the credential that makes the training credible to your staff, your recruits, and your stakeholders. Your expertise runs the program. EHL's standards give it standing.

    For some partners, yes. Hotel groups and training centers with the operational capacity to offer training to the wider market can use the VET Licensed by EHL license to train staff from other organizations, turning an internal training program into an external offer and a revenue stream. This is discussed case by case during the partnership scoping process.

    EHL stays involved through regular touchpoints, progress meetings, quality reviews, academic reviews, and capability-building sessions. As often as you need, a new Train-the-Trainer certification course ensures your incoming trainers are certified to the same standard. The trainer certification is valid for five years and can only be issued by EHL, your certified trainers deliver the program, but the credential stays with us. That ongoing relationship is what keeps the license worth holding.

    No. VET Licensed by EHL is designed for the full operational workforce, kitchen, service, rooms, front office, housekeeping, across all hotel categories. The program is as relevant for a mid-scale group building a consistent service baseline as it is for a luxury property maintaining a five-star standard. Excellence in hospitality is not exclusive to one market segment.

    Every partnership is scoped individually, the investment depends on the operational context of your organization and your ambitions. The best way to get a clear picture is to start a conversation with our team. We'll assess your needs and give you a transparent overview of what's involved. 

    Your first point of contact is the training center or organization delivering your program. They are your licensed local partner and best placed to support you day to day. For questions that go beyond what they can answer, they will escalate to EHL directly on your behalf. 

    Your private partner platform is your first stop for everything you need to run your program successfully. It provides access to operational standards, templates, toolkits, and the latest EHL updates. If you cannot find the information you need, please reach out to your EHL contact directly. We're here to support you in the long run.
