Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Consultancy Skills — Advanced Diploma at London School of Hotel and Resort Management

Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Consultancy Skills


Course Overview

The Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Consultancy Skills is a UK Level 5-equivalent 12 to 15 months programme in resort & business management. LSHRM has designed the Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Consultancy Skills to sit against benchmarks from Institute of Travel and Tourism (ITT), Marketing Society and Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), so applicants finish with supervisory and operational UK hospitality credibility that is directly readable by UK hospitality employers. The programme blends short tutor-led sessions, self-paced material and practical scenario work, and remains focused on the specific vocabulary and workflows tied to hospitality consultancy skills. Every unit sits inside a coherent progression map, so learners understand where each topic feeds into a live hotel, resort or hospitality-business setting.

By the end of the Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Consultancy Skills you will lead cross-department routines, take operational decisions and act as a deputy manager in a live setting. Assessment across the Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Consultancy Skills is a mix of written work, applied case tasks and structured discussion, and graduates progress into the LSHRM Higher Diploma and Bachelor top-up with a coherent record of study behind them. The programme is deliberately shaped to bridge from classroom to floor, so nothing you cover is theoretical without a workplace anchor, and the final review point produces a clear statement of your readiness for the next tier of hospitality practice.
