Certificate in Digital Hospitality Systems
Course Overview
LSHRM's Certificate in Digital Hospitality Systems is a entry-level UK Certificate running 3 to 6 months, built around digital hospitality systems at foundation level, front-desk PMS and POS awareness and aligned with HOSPA, BCS, the Institute of Hospitality and the Institute of Data and Marketing.
By graduation, students are ready to assist with the systems and routines discussed on the programme, and to speak the working language of hospitality systems, hotel technology and digital hospitality operations.
Every teaching block in the Certificate in Digital Hospitality Systems is paired with a practical brief, so students leave with worked artefacts such as reports, plans and presentations that map directly onto the deliverables hiring managers ask about in hospitality systems, hotel technology and digital hospitality operations. Tutor feedback is delivered in the same format managers give in the field, which helps students build a working professional voice.
