Comparison between Vaadale Hotel Management College in France and seg.

What you don't know is VATEL Hotel Management College.

Nature of the school: private schools managed by family businesses, although claiming to be business schools, have nothing to do with the French advanced business system. This is a purely private school. The high business association can't find it.

School ranking: There is no official ranking agency in France or internationally that lists Vatel in its ranking, such as FT, such as College Students' Newspaper. Don't believe that Europe is second and France is first. Interested parties can check the source of these rankings.

Nature of diploma: It is said that it can be certified, but official website of the Ministry of Education can't find it. Why? Because Vatel's diploma is not issued by the French Ministry of Education, but by the Ministry of Labor and Economy. When applying for the French business college with Vatel's undergraduate diploma, most schools will tell you that you can't enter the oldest and most famous Grand Ecole project, on the grounds that the diploma is not issued by the Ministry of Education and does not conform to the regulations. Postgraduates applying for public universities will also have great problems. This blocked the road that many people could have chosen. The 2.5+ 1.5-year graduate program is being implemented by the school, on the one hand, to relieve the pressure, on the other hand, to charge more. If we follow the normal certification system of the Ministry of Education, this kind of learning experience may not be certified because of lack of time in the future.

Teaching mode: Vatel has been applying the so-called theory plus practice mode. There are half a year's internship time, and more than half of the theoretical courses are given free of charge in hotels run by the school (time, undergraduate internship: 9 weeks for freshmen, 7 weeks for sophomores and 6 weeks for juniors). And the actual class time of three years adds up to no more than five months. I really want to know who paid the high tuition fee for Vatel. )。 In practice, most students in China are assigned to restaurants and kitchens to do repetitive work on the grounds of poor language skills. So, if you have a good language and can work hard, what do you want to learn at Vatel?

Internship: The first year internship must be in France, and the person in charge of internship will let you sign the contract blindly, that is, sign the internship contract without knowing the arranged hotel. Personal wishes are basically not advocated. If you don't sign it, she will threaten you to quit school. As for the reason, it is very sad, because she is afraid of trouble. Practice hotels are mainly 3-star and 4-star, and the main brands are mid-range hotels such as Holiday Inn and Novotel. There are few opportunities for China students to practice in five-star or international hotels, let alone big brands like Leeds Carlton and Four Seasons. There won't be much improvement in the second year and the third year. Some capable people can apply for it themselves, but because Vatel is not well-known in France, the number of good hotels they can find is limited.

Teaching quality: in one word, scum. Some of the best teachers in the whole school will or have retired. The teaching content mainly consists of distributing handouts, reading handouts and testing handouts, which is rare in the mode of group work+thesis generally adopted by European and American business schools. Whether many teachers have the qualifications of undergraduate graduate professors remains to be verified. Some teachers have a bad reputation.

Proportion of students in China: It is true that 70% of European students are online students, but 65% of them are French students, who directly sign up for French classes. International classes are strictly separated. In the past few years, the proportion of international students in China has definitely exceeded 60%, and in extreme cases, it can even reach 100% (for example, pre master, which entered the school in 20 12 years, has 8 students, 8 of whom are from China).

School atmosphere: No comment. Different people have different opinions. Some people say that Vatel teaches you the ability to survive.

City: 20 12 was listed as the most dangerous city in France by French media, surpassing Marseille in Paris. There are many descendants of Algeria, which disturbs social order. Every year, there are cases of students being stolen, robbed or even injured. You can find out for yourself. The city itself is a small town in the south of France, with a long history and good scenery. But how can a city without security be beautiful?

School staff: Mr. Cres of the Student Affairs Office and Mr. Pierre who manages the dormitory are both very good people, and they are often mediators and appeasers of contradictions between students and the school. Both the principal and the secretary are inaction-oriented, and basically know nothing. The Belgian woman who is in charge of internship has a very poor personality, but there are still many China students who kiss her ass unwillingly in order to get a better internship hotel. Giving gifts is a routine behavior. I won't say anything else.

Catering and Accommodation: Accommodation conditions have been much better than in previous years, but due to giving priority to law students, many China students will be forced to move out in the second and third years. Food? It's a good word to describe it. Here, I want to mention the first strike in Vatel's history. The reason is that the school won't let us bring our own lunch in order to charge more. The way is that we are not allowed to use the microwave oven in the canteen. Is it funny?

Some people may ask, then why can vatel still enroll students in China now?

Brief analysis:

1. There are still students who really love the hotel industry and have dreams.

2.2 marketing. Vatel in China used to be very good, creating a feeling of being above others.

In fact, the enrollment of vatel in China has dropped a lot in recent years, which is less than 40% of the peak.

4. Unscrupulous intermediaries accept a high commission from vatel (it is said that it is 800- 1000 euros per student) to promote the school to students.

The information is not equal, and many graduates are unwilling to tell the truth for their own reputation and other psychological needs.

6. The entry threshold is extremely low, which is suitable for students with poor language performance.

I say this in the hope that no one will repeat the same mistake again. My name is Lei Feng. You're welcome.
