What Work Based Learning actually means
Work Based Learning combines academic study with structured practical training. Students complete academy coursework while gaining experience in a functioning hotel environment during the same programme period.
The host hotel pays a training allowance of RM1,300 a month across all 12 months, with accommodation and duty meals provided. The allowance reaches you through Gradduos Empire each month. Gradduos Empire explains the training schedule, host venue and support arrangements before enrolment and provides the confirmed terms in writing.
Hotel Management Subjects and Academy Coursework
The partner academy delivers the Hotel Management coursework and sets the academic requirements. Before enrolment, students receive the subject list, assessment method and exact certificate name from the academy responsible for their intake. The certificate is awarded by the partner academy the student enrols with.
Hotel Training and Placement Options in Malaysia
Students complete structured training at internationally branded five-star hotels in Malaysia. The available venue and department exposure are confirmed before the placement begins, based on the intake and student profile. A listed venue is not a guarantee of placement at that particular property.
