SHL Schweizerische Hotelfachschule Luzern (reviews)

My time at SHL Schweizerische Hotelfachschule Luzern was a highly valuable and rewarding experience. The programme combines practical learning with a strong academic foundation and provides an excellent preparation for a career in hospitality and beyond.

What stood out most was the close connection between theory and real-life business situations. The lecturers brought valuable industry experience into the classroom, encouraged independent thinking and created a supportive learning environment. Working with students from different backgrounds also strengthened my communication, teamwork and leadership skills.

The programme was demanding at times, but this made the experience even more meaningful. I left SHL with greater confidence, a broader professional perspective and many valuable connections. I would definitely recommend SHL to anyone looking for a hands-on, internationally oriented education and who is ready to actively invest in their own development.

I really enjoyed my time at SHL. The teachers are highly experienced and genuinely care about the students’ development. The mix between theory and practical training provides a strong foundation for a real career in hospitality. The school also offers great networking opportunities and a very international environment, which helps you grow both professionally and personally.

At SHL you don‘t just learn theoretical knowledge, you learn how to transform your knowledge into practice. In the first year you learn a lot in the kitchen and in service, which later on will not only be helpful for your career, but also for your life. The open and social school environment additionally teaches you about important social skills like communication and human interactions. This education truly shapes you for life.

SHL is the springboard for your future. It is super simple to connect and to meet people. You start to build a network and create a toolkit that will grow over the 3 to 4 years of SHL. Students and Teachers are open and welcoming, here we are a big family.
