Proficiency in Hospitality Management certification (PHM) is the Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne's system of recognizing and rewarding executives who constantly upgrade their knowledge and competencies.

The ability to keep up with new developments is proving crucial in today's global knowledge economy, where we are witnessing change at an exponential rate. Employers today favour individuals who show commitment to lifelong learning by upgrading their expertise and keeping pace with industry trends.

 

For more than a century, EHL has been committed to continuous learning and development through executive education programmes which are delivered on both the EHL campus and in over 35 countries worldwide.
