Advanced Diploma in Hotel Maintenance Management
Course Overview
The Advanced Diploma in Hotel Maintenance Management is an LSHRM Advanced Diploma (UK Level 5-equivalent) programme running across a 12 to 15 months study window and delivered from our London base as part of the Harold International College of London portfolio. Sitting inside the Housekeeping & Property Management department, the programme focuses on the strategic management of a hotel engineering and maintenance department, from PPM to reactive to capex. The syllabus is UK-referenced, written for applicants who intend to work in real hotels, resorts and integrated hospitality businesses, and shaped alongside bodies such as the Institute of Hospitality and the Facilities Management Association (FMA) so that every module maps to how the UK sector actually operates.
By graduation you will be able to manage a hotel maintenance department, own a PPM and reactive framework, and step into a chief engineer or maintenance manager role. The programme is structured across on-campus, online and distance-learning delivery, uses live tutor-led sessions supported by recorded material, and articulates cleanly into the next LSHRM level so you can plan your full progression from day one. Every assessment is built around applied hospitality practice rather than abstract theory, meaning your portfolio at the end of the Advanced Diploma in Hotel Maintenance Management is directly relevant to interview and role conversations across London hotel groups, boutique brands and international resort operators.
