Adv Diploma in Hospitality Waste Strategy | LSHRM | Harold International College of London

Course Overview

Delivered over 12 to 15 months, the Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Waste Management Strategy is a UK Level 5-equivalent Advanced Diploma that centres on waste-management strategy, circularity and sustainability reporting in hotels and resorts. The curriculum is aligned with the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc), the Institute of Hospitality, HOSPA and the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management and framed around housekeeping, facilities, estates and property operations across hotels and resorts.

By the end of the Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Waste Management Strategy, students can own the routines it covers and translate the classroom material into everyday hotel and resort practice.

The Advanced Diploma in Hospitality Waste Management Strategy sequences its learning around applied hospitality problems rather than abstract theory. Learners encounter case material, live datasets and property walk-throughs, so the study experience mirrors the pace and language of housekeeping, facilities, estates and property operations across hotels and resorts. Each assessment is written to reflect a task a working manager would recognise, not a purely academic exercise.
