Diploma Courses

Food Institute of Malaysia offers a conducive environment and comprehensive hospitality programmes that not only expose the student to the theory, but emphasize the “hands-on approach” to enhance our students’ employment opportunities upon graduation. Instructional time is split between classroom theory and practical application that begins with the basics, and builds towards producing highly trained graduates in the hospitality industry. A great skill-based institution must provide quality education with affordable fees, be hands-on, and must be able to give its graduates the best possible foundation for them to grow and launch their career in the industry.
