Student Testimonials:
"I think the best part of IICA is “Everyday is a new day”, I learn something new everyday. The college made us confident and always trying to improve my communication skills. The most important thing which I want to mention is nobody in the faculty never criticize our communication skills, they always encourage me and say that “I can do better.” - Manurama.

"As I am came from not having a background in the hospitality industry the first few days were very tough for me, but gradually with the help of my faculty and Mr. Datta I started moving in my race and quest for learning the basics of the hospitality industry and kitchen department, and now after so many days with IICA, I feel the difference in me. It really helped me not just academically but also helped me in my communication skills and my personality development. With the help of IICA, I think my career is growing in the right direction. I am now looking forward to further studies at Llandrillo college in North Wales, England." - Siddharth.
