Great moment to witness the Graduation of some of TIEA students who have completed their internship with one of our great partners-the Sheraton-Marriot Kampala Hotel.

All the interns were given employment opportunities!! Yes, it is humbling and that has become "normal"- our students are trained, interned and then employed.

Proud of Mbale City. Lot of road works taking place-good thing. Bumped into a group 70 Domestic Tourists in 35 Subarus. They were returning from Sipi Falls where they spent their weekend. I was impressed by the Ugandan flag on the Lead Car. Corporates are proud of their country. They visit different places, Enjoy the sceneries which Uganda offers. Meet new friends. And boost the economy. Isaac is the founder of Subaru Legacy 256 and he has consistently organized trips for Subaru Owners. In June the group was in the West.
Like I have shared with many people, Tourism is the best sector where people can be patriotic. Last weekend several million were spent between Kampala-Sipi Falls and the Tourism value chain benefited a lot of people ranging from peasant farmers who supply restaurants with foodstuff to Gas/Fuel stations! Isaac and Team, keep up the Flag and the spirit of Loving your county.

About Tourism Institute of East Africa

Tourism Institute of East Africa is an institution of higher learning aimed at meeting the dynamic needs of the Tourism Industry which is the fastest growing industry in the world. We train students who have not been to the field of Tourism and we have comprehensive programs for those who are already in the field. We equip learners with practical, relevant and professional skills that are applicable in the industry. The training targets: Entry Level Staff, Middle-Management Personnel, Top Management, Entrepreneurs, researchers among others. We carry out research to identify gaps in the industry and come up with recommendations and solutions. Our Professional team of lecturers are both academicians and practitioners in the industry. The goodwill and partnership the institute has with other institutions opens doors of employment opportunities for graduates from the institute. The family atmosphere created at the institute and conducive learning environment enables students to desire to learn and participate in the development of good practice in the tourism & hospitality industry. Our training model is NOT theoretical and memorization rather, we train our students to understand concepts and new ideas through critical thinking.

We offer Diploma, Certificate programs and Short Courses. The Diploma programs take two (2) Academic Years. Each Academic Year has two (2) Semesters. Each Semester lasts for 13 weeks with 4 weeks of holiday. Certificate Programs go for two (2) semesters ( one Academic Year). After the total four (4) semesters for Diploma programs or 2 Semesters for Certificate programs, students do internship of a minimum of 3 months. Students are given an opportunity to get their internship place but once they fail, then TIEA connects them to any of the partners that range from 5 star Hotels in the region, Tour Companies, Travel Agencies, Tourism Establishments, Airlines, Airport among others.

Students pursuing a Diploma in Cabin Crew Services & Hospitality Management fly to South Africa where they do their practicals for 2 months and sit for their final exams for the International Flight Attendants' Licence. The practicals and exams are conducted at South African Airways facilities.

We provide quality courses that are recognized and relevant to the changing needs of the tourism industry.

Work-Applied Learning (WAL)

The traditional education system confines students in classrooms. Armed with theories of management, graduates then enter the world of work with no practical skills whatsoever. It is not always a happy transition. New employees soon find that reality looks rather different from what they had been led to expect with their theoretical classes. Employers still complain that graduates in the tourism and other sectors are ill-equipped for work. Our Work Applied Learning approach, equips students with both theories and PRACTICALS. Instead of treating learning and working as separate pursuits, WAL brings them together. Theory and practice go hand in hand. With WAL, assignments undertaken for a qualification should test knowledge about both realms. Students are encouraged to tackle ‘real world’ problems.

This kind of environment offers the best of both worlds. And it is certainly not a passive process. Students should know more about their own workplace than anyone else in their learning situation. These are all good reasons why WAL is worth knowing. TIEA will not only introduce you to this approach but will set you well on the way to becoming a more effective skilled worker. This is business education at its best.

Character Traits Appraisal (CTA)

Whereas schools, tertiary institutions and universities focus their a lot of their efforts on students getting good grades. In the real world, employers' number NEED is NOT grade. Tourism Institute of East Africa through rigorous research has discovered that CHARACTER is what one employs followed by SKILLS and least but not last-PERFOMANCE (grades). Character Traits Appraisal is a tool used to measure students' attributes. At TIEA, students' are appraised at the end of the semester and the results are recorded on their transcript. We strongly believe, it is one's Character that keeps them at their job and society and NOT necessarily the GRADES they attained, although Grades are good but they are not good enough to keep one at a job if their Character is in wanting.

Values

The values behind our vision are to:

• Provide a student oriented style of curriculum which promotes creativity, innovation, participation, self reflection, and personal independence.

• Develop specialised technical, leadership and entrepreneurial skills in line with tomorrow’s industry’s trends and requirements

• Promote an international outlook whilst embracing differences between local and foreign cultures.

• Promote professional development through lifelong learning opportunities for all levels within society

• Perform and solicit practices which are ethically correct and environmentally friendly.

• Individually guide, mentor and holistically develop our student
