Enhance. Enrich. Expand.

Passionate about training and development within the Hospitality industry, we're certified and accredited to provide everything from onsite training to designing your training programme or setting up your own hotel school.

There is long-term value in training and development in the Hospitality industry. Celo are passionate about bridging the gap that currently exists between the minimum standard required to enter the industry and employees within this sphere. As such we put our substantial experience to work as specialists in the development and improvement of skills.

We're CATHSSETA and City & Guilds accredited, offering programmes developed for training on or off-site. We're progressive in our approach. We believe that placing emphasis on practical skills and good old-fashioned values in conjunction with theoretical material offers a more comprehensive learning experience.

We not only offer these services in South Africa but we proudly serve the rest of Africa too.
