The first batch of students – Pathum Sampath, Asanka Namal, Sajith Madushan and Prabath Pathirana – from Harpo’s Hotel School Galle Branch completed a well structured Food Production – Culinary Arts course and obtained their certificates from Harpo Gooneratne . Director of the school M.D. Asoka Jayawardena was also present at the presentation. This course has enhanced the aspirant’s employability both locally and internationally and these students have been absorbed into Harpo’s Cafes & Restaurants and are presently gaining more industrial experience.

The main objective of the Harpo’s Hotel School is to provide Sri Lankans with skills in the hospitality industry and broaden their employment prospects locally and overseas, in turn improving the productivity of the respective organisations. The school is extremely pleased with and extends its unstinted cooperation to the Government’s efforts towards higher economic growth and more extensive development in the country by increasing the knowledge and skill base training in Sri Lanka through the public-private sector participation to widen the accessibility for youth to the portals of learning and development, especially in the hospitality industry. Harpo’s School of Hospitality & Tourism Management, Galle Branch was also recognised as an Approved Centre of City & Guild (UK) recently and registrations are now open for prospective candidates who wish to follow courses in food and beverage service and food production culinary arts. For candidates looking to obtain a Diploma in Hospitality Management, the school has already the advantage in offering the Princeton Hotel Management Diploma, Australia.
