Today we feature a young and talented student who has studied in Winchester School Dubai, UAE Ricky Jude Weinman. Ricky joined AAH to follow the Certificate III in Hospitality Management and he is aspiring to pursue a career in Food and Beverage Management.

Since I studied in Dubai UAE while my parents were employed there, I was searching for an institution in Sri Lanka to pursue my higher education. I came across an advertisement in the Social Media about Australasian Academy of Hospitality and I contacted them on my return to Sri Lanka.

I was very much interested in Hospitality and Tourism industry since I was in my school. Dubai being a tourist hot spot and so many nationalities living in the UAE I witnessed the strength and the importance of the industry to a country. I discussed with my parents and decided that this is the programme that I should follow to achieve my dream career.

It’s all about the weight and the quality of the service provided. Its amazing to see the employees in the industry having to do so much work but yet manage to balance their time within the different types of work that’s allocated to them. Above all it is surprising to see how the professionalism is maintained, I realized that the professionalism and service quality is achieved through training and experience gained which cannot be taken away from you.

When I learn more about the industry and the contribution that it makes to the Global Economy, I was convinced that this is an industry that will provide me opportunities locally and internationally.

I started with Certificate III in Hospitality Management. This programme is well structured and delivered by foreign lecturers with industry experience. My career objective is to become a Food & Beverage Manager in a leading hotel chain.

I was impressed by the teaching methods followed by the Australian and the Local Faculty which is way above any other institution. The activities we do in the class are very interesting and enhances our knowledge and skills. The presentations and gathering information to present as a group as well as individually keeps us on our toes right through out but it transforms us well to face the future challenges in my career. AAH maintains a very friendly environment.

I personally believe that the mix of Australian and Sri Lankan lecturers with many years of industry experience is giving us a very good knowledge of the units they cover. The activity-based learning is so exciting and keep us on the go right through out the programme.
