I am proud to say that William Blue College of Hospitality Management provides a professional, vibrant and fun environment where you can learn about all aspects of management for the hospitality industry. Industry demand led to the development of the William Blue International Hotel Management School in 1990 and today, the William Blue College of Hospitality Management offers programs in both the vocational and higher education sectors.

William Blue has always focused on the needs of its students and the requirements of the industry for which they are being educated and the College has developed unparalleled industry relationships over the past 18 years. Every William Blue student is required to spend time working in industry as part of their program. To facilitate this industry "partnership" William Blue invests heavily in providing state-of-the-art facilities and recognised industry experts to be part of the teaching team.

An essential ingredient of William Blue is its world class restaurant 'William Blue Dining'. This restaurant is open to the public daily and provides students with access to both a simulated and a realistic service environment. In September 2008 William Blue Dining was again awarded the title of "Best Restaurant in a Training Institution" by the Restaurant and Catering Association of NSW. The College also partners with the Vibe Hotel to provide work experience in the housekeeping area within the hotel environment.

Today, William Blue College of Hospitality Management enjoys an excellent reputation within the hospitality and tourism industry for delivering quality courses and producing exceptional graduates who are work ready. William Blue has considerable experience in higher education. In 2004, William Blue established a partnership to deliver the final year of the La Trobe Bachelor of Business (Hospitality and Tourism) awarded by La Trobe University. As of 2009, William Blue is also offering its own Bachelor of Business Degrees with specialisations in Hospitality Management, Tourism Management and Event Management.

Here at William Blue we are always investigating new ways of delivering a memorable student experience. Come and study with us and we will work together to ensure your dreams come true.
