Hotel Management Programme in Malaysia Frequently Asked Questions

RM9,000 in total — RM2,500 EMGS registration and RM6,500 tuition. That covers your EMGS fee, your tuition, your medical screening and your airport pickup. The programme runs for one year, so there is no second year and no second year of tuition. Instalment plans are available on request. Ask us about anything you would need to budget for separately, such as your flight, and we will tell you plainly.

Twelve months. You study and train at the same time throughout, because the programme is delivered as Work Based Learning rather than classroom study followed by a short internship.

Yes. The host hotel pays a training allowance of RM1,300 a month for all twelve months of your placement, and your accommodation and duty meals are provided. You are doing real rostered work in a working five-star hotel, not an unpaid observation placement, which is why the hotel pays rather than you paying for a placement.

Over twelve months the allowance comes to RM15,600 against the RM9,000 you paid, and your room and meals are covered on top. We show the full arithmetic on the programme page rather than asking you to take it on trust.

The hotel pays it. It reaches you through Gradduos Empire, the same way your fees reach the academy through us. We are not funding the allowance ourselves — it comes from the hotel you are placed with, because you are doing real work there.

Students aged 18 to 25 who have completed high school and have moderate English. Entry is also subject to the academy confirming your application.

Intakes run in the second week of March, June, September and December. Apply well ahead of your intake, because the academy needs time to process your student pass.

Your academy handles admission and student pass processing. We handle your recruitment, your placement with the academy, your hotel placement and your accommodation, and we are here throughout your year in Malaysia.

Accommodation is provided throughout your placement, along with your duty meals. Ask us for the specifics of where you would be staying before you commit to anything.

The certificate is awarded by the partner academy you enrol with. Each of our partner academies issues its own.

You pay Gradduos Empire, and we settle the fees with the academy. The allowance goes the other way on the same route: the hotel pays it, and we pass it to you each month.

It is an education programme delivered through Work Based Learning. Students complete academy requirements alongside structured practical training. It is not an offer of employment.

No particular hotel should be treated as guaranteed unless it is confirmed in the student’s written placement information. Available venues depend on the intake, student profile and current partner arrangements.

Students may discuss preferences with GE, but the available venue depends on the confirmed placement options for the intake. A preference is not a placement guarantee.

Ask GE for a written breakdown of what is included and what must be paid separately before enrolling. Travel and personal expenses may need a separate budget; check the list in your programme information rather than treating the programme fee as your complete cost of living in Malaysia.

Apply well before the intended intake. The partner academy must review the application and process the student-pass submission, and processing time can vary.
