Course Overview

The Diploma in Property Maintenance Management is a UK Level 4-equivalent programme of 9 to 12 months delivered by LSHRM. It develops the operational skills needed to coordinate maintenance across a hotel property, covering reactive maintenance, planned preventive tasks and simple contractor management. The programme is aligned with IWFM, FMA and CIOB references.

By graduation you will be able to coordinate reactive maintenance tickets, support planned preventive maintenance schedules, oversee small contractor visits and report maintenance status to a head of engineering.

The nine to twelve month curriculum walks you through property maintenance coordination at hotel scale, from reactive maintenance and planned preventive tasks to small contractor management and reporting. Assessment blends a reactive workflow case study, a planned schedule design, a contractor brief and a supervisor-level presentation to a mock head of engineering.

Modules across the Property Maintenance Management 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 Property Maintenance Management learners never lose momentum between modules.

On completion, Property Maintenance Management learners can progress into the LSHRM Advanced Diploma, moving from practitioner (UK Level 4-equivalent) standard into senior operational territory without repeating material. Every Property Maintenance Management 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.
