While the college is best known for its Bachelor programs, for the last 10 years DTC has also been offering short course Public Programs in culinary arts and hospitality management.

HSMAI courses offer specialised content to help fuel sales, inspire marketing, and optimise revenue. Every aspect of the content and support material included in HSMAI’s programs have been specifically designed and developed for those involved in hotel sales, marketing, and revenue management, including a wealth of subject matter appropriate to individuals with responsibilities ranging from entry-level to advanced.

Step one of the partnerships was the launch of a HSMAI hub on the Dusit Thani College site to access information on all HSMAI online courses and to register for their programs. (dtc.ac.th/en/course-category/short-course/online-course-by-hsmai/)
