Course Overview

LSHRM's Diploma in Hospitality Data Analysis is a Diploma (UK Level 4-equivalent) qualification of 9 to 12 months. It equips students with the knowledge, vocabulary and practice tools that underpin practical data analysis for hotel operations in hotel and resort settings, referencing UK bodies such as Institute of Hospitality, HOSPA (Hospitality Professionals Association) and BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT throughout.

Graduation from the Diploma in Hospitality Data Analysis marks a shift into working life as a practitioner ready for supervisory hospitality work, with practical fluency across dashboards and forecasting, and hands-on familiarity with basic SQL, STR reports and dashboard tools such as Looker Studio and Power BI.

Across the Diploma in Hospitality Data Analysis, students also examine how practical data analysis for hotel operations interacts with wider hotel disciplines, including brand standards, guest experience and financial performance. Discussion sessions reference LSHRM tutors' careers in London hotel groups and international resort operators, and applied exercises draw on anonymised hotel case data. This grounding gives students confidence to translate learning into their own operating context, whether that is an independent hotel, a branded property or a resort setting. Assessment tasks reward evidence of applied thinking rather than rote knowledge, and tutors return detailed written feedback on each submission.
