Why SAIT?

No matter your program, you’ll gain a competitive advantage with our innovative approach to hands-on learning.

Our instructors are leaders and trailblazers in the industry and showcase a diverse background and wealth of experience.

Depending on your path, you’ll apply your knowledge in one of our unique live classrooms, from fine dining at the Highwood Kitchen + Bar to trip-planning at Destinations, North America’s only student-run travel centre. 

Our strong industry partnerships ensure we stay relevant in this dynamic, fast-paced industry.

Together, these elements create an education that will prepare you to work in hospitality and lead in it too.

I received a lot of positive feedback from instructors on my approach to hard work and leadership skills. Recognizing that I did have the skillset needed, from cooking to customer service, I really saw how far I'd come over the course of the program.
