Mr.Kim Jung Pyung
“ACQUIRE IT THE RIGHT WAY: APPLY IT THE RIGHT TIME”  should be a guiding principle for the acquisition of knowledge and its subsequent application for the benefit of mankind.  This has been the guiding force behind Travex’s development in producing quality graduates to meet the global employment.
        The world has taken on a new dimension: globalization which among other things, stresses on the integration of the international communities by ways of free trade and telecommunications.  To be a global player, graduates must equipped themselves with “WORLD CLASS” education.  Studying and experiencing different cultures at the same time will be an added value to any local and foreign students.  To be a genuine global player, all graduates must be able to communicate electronically, coordinate efficiently and cooperate compassionately.We welcome foreign students from any countries to sign up into our courses.Foreign agents who are interested to support potential students in their country are also welcome.
                                                                                               Thank you.

"Secure Lifestyle And Live In Style"

               
Ms.Keriun Ong
           Tourism being an active industry takes up 60% of the world’s employment. The involvement of people travelling for business and holidays is on going even during this current time when most parts of the world are facing global recession.  Airlines companies, travel agencies and hotels are busy recruiting staff while many other industries have either slowed down or even closed. Today, International Airlines are still actively conducting interviews seeking qualified Malaysian youths for employment. The demand for Travex graduates by the various travel and tours companies including hotels is a testimony for the high academic quality provided by our College.  For our record, our College graduates have always achieved a 100% employment rate. Travex graduates easily find work as Airline Reservation & Ticketing staff, Tour Consultants, Inbound Tour Operation and Outbound Tour Operation staff, Tour Leaders and Tourist Guides and also in the hotel/restaurant industry. Travex graduates working as tour Leaders or Tour Guides can also opt for a freelance job and still enjoy a good and steady income.Travex provides a niche market for tourism training.
           We always stress on QUALITY and not QUANTITY.  Many people think of tourism as a secondary profession and they do not realize that the tourism industry can provide them a secure job where they can live in style.  Combining the high quality training, hard work and good customer services to the tourists, the Ministry of Tourism licensed Tourist Guides and Tour Leaders are often very well paid.
                                                                                                                  Thanks You,
                                                                                                               Ms.Keriun Ong
