My experience in LIHS has been a fun and eventful one. it has changed my life; it formed me spiritually, emotionally, socially and academically. In the two years i have been there, i have learnt to be a better person. it was stressful at the beginning, but i am glad i made it in the end. I am greateful to all my teachers, my Assessors and most especially my Tutor, who is always there for me, any time any day.

Wow! My life experience for the past 1 year and 8months in Lagoon Institute of Hospitality Studies is something to write home about. During this time, i have been able to aquire many skills in the food production area and other departments. i also go to know about the heat periods in the kitchen and the service area, especially when meals are not reay on time for our customers or during my projects in dish preparations. i have also learnt to work in a team.
