Client Testimonials
CHS was the start of my future. Studying and working alongside diligent and brilliant people gave me the courage and knowledge to succeed in my career today. I was taught very valuable life lessons and made many mistakes, but it was truly the best learning experience. I had many highlights during my two years of studying and found my true passion; I want to pursue my dream of becoming a Sommelier. What impacted me the most was the WSET wine course that I did and the extensive knowledge I gained from working on the Blue Train. I will forever be grateful for all the opportunities I was given at CHS. It made me want to learn more about the diversity of this industry and it has motivated me to work harder for what I want in life. I am currently employed as a Guest House Manager at the 4-star Lavenders at Constantia Guest House.
My most valuable learning experience at CHS was not just about the academics, but the life-lessons on respect, social skills, empathy and realising your own worth and potential. I learned that doing your best is far more important than just your academic capabilities. I am where I am today because of the lecturers that stood by me, believed in me and prepared me for the journey that I am currently undertaking. It was two years of hard work but it was all worth it. I was fortunate enough to do my practicals on the Blue Train which led to my current position as a Butler on the Blue Train, under Transnet, a fine dining and 24hr butler service. Meeting different kinds of people and learning languages from different cultures and countries is an ever-growing highlight of my career. Hospitality has taught me about prioritizing, problem solving, communication and humanity and how to keep smiling, despite the challenges one may face.
My journey as a chef began at CHS. Through hard work, long hours and early mornings, I was taught to be the person I am today. My confidence grew tremendously during practicals. CHS offered great practical experience within the work place, and their skilled Chef Lecturers really prepared me for the real world. I also had the privilege of making lifelong friends whilst at CHS. I graduated in January 2017 with Cum Laude, and began working as Head Chef at a 5-Star restaurant in Pretoria for 2 years. Thereafter, I travelled through Europe and Thailand for 2 months. I am currently working as the Sous Chef at a Game Lodge in Welgevonden Game Reserve in Limpopo.
