Top notched professional knowledge acquired in the classroom is as critical as skills gained through field experience – and that is the School D’Hospitality’s winning formula to preparing its students for a rewarding and exciting career in the flourishing hospitality and casino industry.

With the forthcoming debut of the two integrated resorts (IRs), the tourism and hospitality in Singapore is set for an exciting transformation.

The two IRs are already aggressively hiring particularly for the positions of casino croupiers. Marina Bay Sands will be hiring 4500 people, a large portion of which for the positions of pit supervisors and dealers, while Resorts World has over 800 vacancies to be filled, half of that for croupiers.

It’s no surprise that the excellent and exciting prospects enjoyed as a croupier has drawn overwhelming response from applicants, making it a much sought-after position. However, as Singapore lacks a ready available experienced local talent pool to tap into, the need to train professional croupiers is a pressing one.

Singapore's 1st school to offer widest range of Casino Management programs
This is where School D’Hospitality (SD’H), Singapore’s pioneering tourism and hospitality school to offer the widest range of casino management programs from certificate to diploma, degree to MBA - bridges this gap perfectly. The courses, which promise no-holds barred, will equip all interested job seekers with the breadth of hand skills required in the casino industry. Armed with these skill-sets, applicants will stand a much higher chance of scoring the well-paying job of croupier or pit supervisor. The successes of SD’H programmes have seen many of their graduates being offered casino job openings by both the IRs in recent months.

“Majority of Singaporeans have no prior experience with croupier skills training. The casino management course allows students to gain not only technical, skill competencies and field experience in casino management, but also academic qualifications in a shorter period of time, giving them the opportunity to apply what they learn,” Mr. Yeh Choy Yan, Executive Director of SD’H said.
