Our job experience in Malta

Malta is a densely populated developed European microstate in the European Union.
The island nation comprises an archipelago of seven islands situated in the Southern European areas of the Mediterranean sea.
The country's official languages are Maltese and English, which replaced Italian in 1934.

Every year our school organizes the educational trips to Malta, first of all, to improve the student’s English language, and train them for the hotel and restaurant services, working in different hotels.
Last year we were delighted to visit this magnificient area.
We had the opportunity to attend the English course, based on the Inlingua Method with 20 lessons, and gain experience in the hotels as receptionists, waiters and chef’s assistants for 2 weeks.
In the end we received 2 certificates : one for completion of the English Language Course and the other one for the hotel experience gained during this period.
Moreover, we had the possibility to visit some places, like Sliema, a beautiful city, where we carried out our job experience, San Julian, with several nightclubs, discos and pubs, Mdina, medieval town situated in the centre of the island, commonly called the “Silent City” by natives and visitors alike, Valletta, the capital, and Gozo, an island of the Maltese archipelago.

We visited most of these places by the typical city buses, which have become tourist attractions in their own right and appear on many Maltese advertisements to promote tourism, as well as on gifts and merchandise for tourists.
We visited also “The Professional Hotel and Catering school” of Malta, that is among the most equipped professional schools in Europe, and Hilton Malta Hotel that belongs to one of the most famous hotel chains in the world.




It is very luxurious.


During the day, we had some time to go for a walk, go shopping and buy some souvenirs, that represent the maltese culture.
