Admissions & Training
Do you guarantee an internship?
Yes — for some courses, we guarantee an internship placement. Availability depends on our partner organizations' current openings. We've built partnerships with a wide range of reputable establishments, including 5-star hotels, 3-star hotels, cafes, and bars, so you gain diverse, valuable practical experience.
Are your certifications internationally recognized?
Yes. Our programs are developed in partnership with prestigious bodies such as ICM (UK) and the Skill Council for Canada. We're also certified by Myanmar's National Skill Standard Authority (NSSA) and aligned with the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Tourism Professionals (MRA-TP) and the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism (MOHT) — plus active partnerships with the French and British Chambers monitoring opportunities for our students.
Are there scholarship opportunities?
Yes — we're deeply committed to accessibility and award approximately 50 full scholarships every year to deserving students. In 2024 alone, our free-scholarship commitment surpassed 15 million Kyat.
Does the training include "soft skills" like grooming?
Absolutely. First impressions are vital. We include specialized modules in Personal Grooming, Professional Etiquette, and Telephone Courtesy, so our graduates carry the distinctive professionalism top employers look for.
What specific technical tools and software will I learn?
To make sure you're 5-star ready, you'll master industry-standard tools including the Oracle-Micros / Opera property management system for hotel operations and the AMADEUS Global Distribution System for travel and reservations — plus AI tools, depending on the course you select.
Careers & Placement
How does the Alumni Network help me get hired?
Our graduates join a growing network of 1,000+ alumni working across Myanmar's hospitality industry and beyond. Through this network — plus our dedicated For Employers recruitment division and 53+ hotel partners — students get direct referrals, first access to openings, and ongoing career support long after graduation.
Do you provide job placement assistance?
Yes. Beyond classroom training, we actively place graduates through guaranteed internships, our Recruitment-as-a-Service (RaaS) partnership program, and our For Employers division — connecting students directly with our network of 53+ hotel and hospitality partners across Myanmar.
Can I really secure a job in countries like Singapore, Dubai, or Thailand?
Our certifications — including ICM (UK), the Skill Council for Canada, and alignment with the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement on Tourism Professionals (MRA-TP) — are recognized well beyond Myanmar, supporting graduates pursuing work across ASEAN countries like Thailand and Singapore and through our wider network of internationally affiliated hospitality partners.
What is the "YP Difference" in training?
We hold ourselves to a 5-Star Standard in everything we do. We don't just teach theory — we provide hands-on training with the exact high-end equipment and global software systems used in the world's most elite hotels, alongside essential soft skills like bilingual communication and professional problem-solving.
Why do so many students choose YP Education over other institutions?
Because we offer a lifelong passport to global opportunity, not just a certificate. We're unique in combining internationally accredited training, a 1,000+-strong alumni network for job referrals, and direct B2B recruitment channels that bridge the gap to overseas employment — and we're the only vocational school offering digital verification of your qualification.
Employers & Community
I'm an employer looking for staff. What services do you offer?
We provide Recruitment as a Service (RaaS) — helping businesses identify pre-vetted, highly trained talent from our graduate pool. This collaborative approach ensures your new hires integrate quickly and contribute to your company's long-term growth. Visit our For Employers page to get started.
What is the "Helping Hands" initiative?
In partnership with the Rotary Club of Greater Yangon, we launched Helping Hands to provide 100% free education to students in crisis-affected areas — including 15 earthquake-affected students in Mandalay, who received full support to rebuild their futures through professional training.
