Certificate in Cleaning Team Coordination
Course Overview
The Certificate in Cleaning Team Coordination is an LSHRM Certificate programme running across a 3 to 6 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 how a hotel cleaning shift is briefed, allocated, tracked and closed by team leaders across UK properties. 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 UKHospitality and the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management (IWFM) so that every module maps to how the UK sector actually operates.
By graduation you will be able to coordinate a small cleaning team, run a pre-shift briefing, allocate rooms and public areas, and close a shift with an accurate report. 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 Certificate in Cleaning Team Coordination is directly relevant to interview and role conversations across London hotel groups, boutique brands and international resort operators.
