Program Overview
The Cloud Nine College Hotel and Restaurant Management programs offer two options of study: a 2-year diploma or a 1-year certificate. These programs are offered in partnership with the American Hotel and Lodging Educational Institute (AHLEI), a global organization active in hundreds of countries, and a preeminent leader in the hospitality industry. Upon successful completion of the Cloud Nine College courses within the program, students will receive AHLEI course completion certificates.
The programs integrate academic study led by industry leaders with a practical, hands-on Co-Op learning experience. These programs will ensure that students are ready for the field upon graduation.
This program was reviewed and approved by the registrar of the Private Training Institutions Branch (PTIB) of the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills & Training.
Program Highlights
- Led by Vancouver hospitality industry leaders, students will be “job ready” and have the knowledge and skills to be a valuable member of their team.
- Course contents are up-to-date, covering new innovations such as the use of technology in customer service, marketing and management.
- The AHLEI industry certification, a globally recognized credential, will strengthen resumes and open doors for career opportunities

Co-Op Work Experience
The paid Co-Op work experience is an essential part of the CNC Hotel and Restaurant Management programs. The successful completion of the Co-Op work term is required for graduation. Co-Op work experience not only gives students first-hand exposure to industry while they study, but also enables them to become more employable upon graduation. The CNC Co-Op Coordinator will work with students to find a suitable work opportunity to gain valuable, on-the-job experience working in their respective field.
The programs culminate with a capstone course that consolidates academic and applied learning and gives the opportunity for the students to demonstrate their learning gained during the program.
