Advertorial: Inspiration to start a guest house

I’ve always liked the idea of running a guest house. If done well, it can be a very profitable industry to work in, while constantly meeting interesting people. And of course, it can be the perfect creative outlet for those who enjoy cooking and decorating.

The University of Cape Town Guest House Management short course is a great way to learn the practical skills to establish and manage your own guesthouse in South Africa. This 10-week short course is presented entirely online with online education company, GetSmarter. Register online by 13 December 2013 to secure your place on the January 2014 presentation.
