Course Overview

The Diploma in Customer Loyalty in Hotels is a UK Level 4-equivalent programme of 9 to 12 months delivered by LSHRM. It develops the operational discipline needed to run loyalty and repeat visitor programmes inside a hotel, from enrolment and communications to redemption and reporting. Content aligns with Institute of Customer Service (ICS), Institute of Hospitality and CIM references.

By graduation you will be able to coordinate a hotel loyalty programme end to end, run enrolment campaigns, oversee redemption at the front desk and prepare monthly loyalty performance reports.

The nine to twelve month curriculum walks you through the operational side of hotel loyalty, from enrolment mechanics and communication cycles to redemption reconciliation and monthly reporting. Assessment blends a written enrolment plan, a redemption case study, a monthly report draft and a supervisor-level presentation to a mock general manager.

Modules across the Customer Loyalty in Hotels programme are delivered in short weekly units with practical activities anchored to real hotel workflows, and every intake sits within a wider LSHRM cohort that combines learners from London, the UK regions and international markets. Tutor contact hours are protected across each week, with dedicated office-hour slots and asynchronous forum support so that Customer Loyalty in Hotels learners never lose momentum between modules.

On completion, Customer Loyalty in Hotels learners can progress into the LSHRM Advanced Diploma, moving from practitioner (UK Level 4-equivalent) standard into senior operational territory without repeating material. Every Customer Loyalty in Hotels student is also supported by the LSHRM alumni network, which gathers hospitality professionals from London hotel groups, resort operators and hospitality technology firms across the UK and further afield.
