Admissions
New cohorts begin every January and June. Candidates will be admitted based on the composite strength of all application materials. While not a requirement, at least three months of prior work experience in the hospitality industry is highly recommended.
NOCHI will review applications and notify applicants of their acceptance to NOCHI’s programs within 90 days of receipt of a complete application package, including supporting materials. Please note that incomplete applications will not be reviewed and that NOCHI will not return any materials submitted during the admissions process.
Interested students should adhere to the application deadlines and requirements. Once classes fill, students may be placed on a waitlist for admission. Waitlisted students will be notified as soon as possible if a seat in the cohort becomes available. All waitlist applications will be rolled to the next application period. Students can update an existing application but do not need to reapply.
NOCHI admits qualified applicants of any race, gender, age, color, religion, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, genetic information, marital status, or veteran status.
