SHATEC Institutes

Established by the Singapore Hotel Association (SHA) in 1983, an era which preceded structured education in hotel management in Singapore, SHATEC partnered the world-renowned Swiss École hôtelière de Lausanne to develop its earliest programmes and soon became the region’s first dedicated hotel school, training new entrants to ensure a continuous pipeline of talents for Singapore’s hospitality industry. Today, SHATEC is recognised for producing generations of accomplished hospitality professionals, entrepreneurs and renowned chefs across the globe. 

Carrying its true brand promise that “the art of hospitality lies with the heart”, SHATEC believes every individual can succeed given the right stimuli, and provides the caring environment where aspiring professionals can thrive and grow to be their own success stories.

SHATEC has distinguished itself as arguably Singapore’s most recognised hospitality school with many of its 30,000 strong alumni from more than 20 countries helming key positions in the hospitality and tourism industry.
