IHT Hotel School (Pty) Ltd is a private hospitality higher education institution in Cape Town, South Africa, reportedly opened in 1998 with a small founding class of around 10 students. Third-party directories consistently place its campus at 3 Riesling Street, Oude Westhof, Bellville (Bellville South), Western Cape, 7530 — not Durbanville as some secondary sources suggest; one older business listing (infoisinfo) instead cites a Durbanville address (Bloemendal Wine Estate, Tygerberg Valley Road), which may reflect a former or additional location, but this could not be independently confirmed against a current primary source. According to independent listings (Careers Portal), IHT Hotel School is registered with the Department of Higher Education and Training (DHET) as a private higher education institution, with a registration number cited as 2008/HE07/008, and its flagship qualification — a Diploma in Hospitality Management (HEQSF-aligned, NQF Level 6, 360 credits) — is reported to have been accredited by the Council on Higher Education's HEQC in March 2008 and registered with SAQA under ID 63169. These figures come from a secondary directory, not the institution's own site, so they should be treated as reported rather than verified against DHET's primary register. The institution's own website (ihthotelschool.com) is currently live but shows only a 'website maintenance' placeholder, and its sub-pages return 404 errors, so current operational status, enrolment, and up-to-date accreditation cannot be confirmed directly from the source.
