Student Testimonial – Mohamad Fattah, Chtoura Branch

"My life story can be summarized in words written by my pen—lines that colored my path and gave me the opportunity to continue a journey I had abandoned long ago due to circumstances many of us share. The economic crisis stripped us of real opportunities to prove ourselves after graduation, pushing many young people to migrate in search of work. I, too, lost hope and stopped pursuing my education after seeing so many others struggle.

Days passed as I wasted time scrolling through Facebook just to escape boredom. I was particularly drawn to cooking content. One day, I saw an ad for various training courses, including Hospitality Sciences, offered at CIS Chtoura. I paused and imagined myself practicing the recipes I’d always admired online—becoming a well-known chef. That thought sparked something in me. I liked the idea and decided to pick up where I left off.

After putting in effort and dedication, I was able to prove myself and find hope again. Through the training, I gained practical experience and valuable traits—like patience, attention to detail, openness, and most importantly, confidence in myself and my ability to succeed. I’m truly honored to extend my thanks and appreciation to the entire CIS team for giving me the opportunity to be part of this institution. A special thank you to my instructors, Mr. Bilal Adawi and Mr. Rachid Sleiman, for their support and dedication in shaping a generation to be proud of."

Success Story – Douaa Tabakh, Graduate of the Hospitality Training Program

"Years ago, I enrolled in Hospitality because cooking was a personal passion of mine. I had the ability to create a variety of dishes. However, due to certain circumstances, I had to stop pursuing that field. One day, I saw a social media ad from CIS Chtoura offering Hospitality and Culinary courses, so I decided to join.

I took the course to deepen my knowledge, gain more experience, and make a positive change in my life. By the end of the program, I had not only acquired practical skills but also boosted my self-confidence and realized I could take on any challenge. It was a truly amazing experience.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this achievement—especially CIS College and my instructors Mr. Bilal Adawi and Mr. Rachid Sleiman. The course was rich in both knowledge and hands-on experience. Thank you from the heart for your efforts in helping us become individuals who can truly make a difference in society."
