The International Hotel and Tourism Industry Management School or I-TIM as it is now known, is located in Bangkok. It was established in 1988 and has been awarded "The best school award" by the Ministry of Education. Students learn both theory and practical subjects. I-TIM was the first professional education institute in Thailand to train career professionals in English for the hotel and tourism industry.

1 year Certificate in Hotel & Tourism Operations and a 2 year Diploma in Hotel and Tourism Management.

Due to I-TIM 's reputation and high standard of courses offered, I-TIM's two-year diploma is accepted by many prestigious universities and colleges worldwide. Some credits are transferable from I-TIM 's one-year certificate program as well, however, should a student wish to transfer overseas to complete a degree I-TIM 's two-year diploma course offers students with a greater variety of options along with a greater number of credits being accepted which enables them to complete their degrees in a shorter period of time.

5 month internship with salaried overseas internships for some students in 2nd year.
