Diploma in Hospitality Workplace Leadership
Course Overview
LSHRM's Diploma in Hospitality Workplace Leadership is a UK Level 4-equivalent Diploma running 9 to 12 months, built around hospitality workplace leadership across culture, wellbeing and shift teams and aligned with the Institute of Hospitality, UKHospitality, HOSPA and the Institute of Customer Service.
By graduation, students are ready to run daily the systems and routines discussed on the programme, and to speak the working language of front-office, rooms-division and guest-facing operations in London and international hotels.
Every teaching block in the Diploma in Hospitality Workplace Leadership 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 front-office, rooms-division and guest-facing operations in London and international hotels. Tutor feedback is delivered in the same format managers give in the field, which helps students build a working professional voice.
