Whenever you apply to a school of higher education, the first thing you would look for is its accreditations. You may also mull over, “Is this school really worth it?” “Is there any feedback from this place at all?” “How are the faculty members over there… will they be friendly or act too conservative or strict?,” “Is it affordable?”
However, these are not the only things you should ask when searching for the right hospitality & tourism school. Student life is just as important. It’s the exciting feeling of meeting your instructors or peers for the first time. It’s the sense of pride you get when you meet a friend over coffee and tell them, “Hey, I enrolled in THIS culinary institute/hospitality school.” It’s that “wow” reaction when the hiring manager glances at your resume.
Here are some testimonies that we cherry-picked from our students and affiliates about ASTORIA Culinary & Hospitality Institute (Astoria-ACHI) that may help you decide to just go for it! Read along and watch what they have to say.
“Personally, I have gained knowledge and skills in Housekeeping. I’m really happy to be part of this on-the-web training, and we’ll surely miss this experience. I know that in the near future, we can apply skills and knowledge we have now.”

“Astoria-ACHI turned the impossible to possible. They have been able to pull out an on-the-web training where their management team is going to train us virtually and I want to thank Astoria-ACHI for that.”

“ASTORIA Culinary & Hospitality Institute (Astoria-ACHI) became our partner in a 40-day virtual training under the JDVP program of the Department of Education. During the training period, I can say that ACHI made a remarkable impact in improving our students’ knowledge, skills, and attitude. They teach our students to aspire and reach their goals in life. They molded and developed the character of our students as to what they need to possess as they enter the world of work. They foster hospitality in different ways. Like hospitable in handling classes, hospitable in handling queries and concerns of our students, and hospitable in giving extensions in the submissions of students’ outputs. They give superb instructions in teaching and learning experiences that makes our students globally competitive in the near future.”

“My fellow trainees and I enjoyed everything that we were doing, and we inspired each other to do well. It felt fulfilling to see that we got to do a lot of things together. We work hand in hand with the Front Desk Team, and the challenge is to ensure that all deliverables must be accomplished on time.”
