Reliance College is Malaysia’s most established hospitality and tourism education brand. The college started in the early 1980’s as the Reliance Training Centre. It was setup to train Tour Guides for Reliance Travel.

The College has over 35 years of history and experience in grooming hospitality and tourism management graduates. Many of these graduates are now in top management positions in the region’s hospitality industry.

This highly successful employability rate is attributed to relevance of the curriculum and the teaching faculty of Reliance all of whom have industry experience. Further confirming this is feedback from the industry’s most prestigious brands, who have placed Reliance graduates as being the preferred choice.
