Boma International Hospitality College (BIHC), in partnership with B.H.M.S. Business & Hotel Management School (Lucerne, Switzerland), offers world-class training in hospitality and culinary arts. The Certificate and Diploma in Baking & Patisserie programs equip students with skills in pastry, chocolate work, desserts, and bakery operations, preparing them for careers in hotels, patisseries, cruise lines, and more.
These fees apply to Kenyan applicants commencing in January 2026 (full-time programs with intakes in January, May, and September). Fees include tuition, training materials, meals (tea breaks and lunch), library access, computer lab use, campus Wi-Fi/intranet, foreign language, examinations, and internship placement services. Uniform fees (KSh 37,335 for both Certificate and Diploma) are separate and not included in instalment plans.
Important: Fees are in Kenyan Shillings (KES), non-refundable (except excess upon completion, refunded only to guardian/sponsor), and subject to change. No personal cheques accepted. Application fees are non-refundable. Default on instalments incurs 5% interest on the overdue amount.
