Crown Institute of Studies is known to produce excellent, work-ready graduates and the December 2011 graduates are certainly examples of this.
Paige Olliver and Danielle Metcalf, graduates from the Crown Certificate in International Hospitality – Hotel Services and Reception Operations course, have already secured great jobs at top-notch hotels.
“It wouldn’t have been possible without the amazing staff at Crown Institute of Studies and the skilful lessons provided to us,” says Paige.
Paige is now a receptionist at the Sky City Grand Hotel and Danielle is a receptionist at the Copthorne Hotel.
Their enthusiasm in their studies, strong work ethic and help from our careers advisor, all helped them in securing such fantastic roles within the hospitality industry.
Natalie Tolhopf, Crown’s Careers Advisor, says “I’m so proud of Paige and Danielle for taking action and jumping at opportunities. Their proactive approach and willingness to learn has really helped them in securing these positions”.
Both Paige and Danielle were also part of the Crown Student Representatives Team and helped with organising events and activities for the Crown Community.
The Crown Certificate in International Hospitality – Hotel Services and Reception Operations is a great course for students who are interested in both hospitality and tourism and would like to gain qualifications in both disciplines.

Our Hospitality students transformed the humble sandwich into edible art! Students had to prepare, assemble and present complex sandwiches so they created new recipes then whipped up culinary creations! The competition was fierce and intense but high quality, fantastic tasting sandwiches were professionally presented.
