The programs to be delivered include hospitality programs which are
exclusively licensed to CIBT Group in China by the American Hotel
Lodging Association Educational Institute, and language programs
developed by King George International College., a wholly owned
subsidiary of CIBT Group. Programs will be taught through interactive
video conference technology from Vancouver, Canada as well as
traditional face to face instruction at the BLCU Beijing campus. The MOU
further provides for the transfer of students to CIBT Group’s schools in
Canada, including KGIC and Sprott-Shaw Degree College.
“This unique partnership with BLCU once again demonstrates our vision of
educating international students with advanced educational contents
developed in North America while creating bridging opportunities for
these students to start their study in China, complemented by advancing
their study and internship in Canada,” commented Toby Chu, President and
CEO, Vice Chairman of CIBT. “We are also pleased with the rapid
deployment of the GLN Centers, and the number of new academic partners
joining our Global Learning Network. It is important to note that these
new academic partners joining our network are well established, fully
accredited public institutions with substantial credibility and
reputation. On January 18 2012, CIBT announced the
completion of our GLN Center at Guangzhou University, another tier 1
university in China. These academic partners and their reputations will
certainly reinforce our future recruitment efforts and enhance the
integrity of our business model.”
