Advanced Diploma in Hotel Performance Strategy
Course Overview
LSHRM's Advanced Diploma in Hotel Performance Strategy is a UK Level 5-equivalent Advanced Diploma running 12 to 15 months, built around hotel performance strategy across KPI systems, brand standards and operational analytics and aligned with UKHospitality, HOSPA, the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Association of British Travel Agents.
On completion, learners can audit the day-to-day and cyclical work the syllabus targets, and can position themselves credibly for the next role in resort, revenue, marketing and hospitality business management.
Students on the Advanced Diploma in Hotel Performance Strategy work through a structured, project-informed curriculum that maps directly onto the routines seen in working hotels and resorts. Every module ties back to a real operational question, so learners graduate able to talk about the material in the vocabulary used by hiring managers across resort, revenue, marketing and hospitality business management.
