Testimonials - Previous Expos
The expo was wonderfully handled by Zista Education. The event was smooth. I explored various choices and met experts who knew about the industry and the programs.
Ayush Kaira - Undergraduate Student
GHEE is truly a great platform to interact with students. I would highly recommend all to participate. The students were very keen and eager.
Nishant Suri - HTMi Singapore
I have been attending a lot of events but I would say, this one was really good. I met a lot of good students. I’m really happy. The students I met were very focused; many of them had a lot of information on Le Cordon Bleu. Moreover, they were not looking for only one specific campus, they were ready to explore our other global campuses.
Saima Siddique - Le Cordon Bleu
This was the first time I interacted with hospitality and culinary institutes from different continents. I would definitely say that the event added value to students. Overall, I think it was a very good experience.
