Course Overview

The Higher Diploma in Facility Management in Hotels is a 15 to 18 months LSHRM route at Higher Diploma (UK Level 5+ articulation) standard that consolidates students in facility management in hotels for hotel and resort work. Written in London and aligned with UK expectations set by the British Institute of Cleaning Science, Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management and HOSPA, the programme treats the hotel or resort as a live commercial environment where housekeeping, linen, maintenance and hotel property management must work together to deliver a consistent guest outcome. Students on the Higher Diploma in Facility Management in Hotels work through structured modules that reflect the daily rhythm of a modern hotel property, and complete short applied tasks that link classroom learning to the working shape of a hospitality business in London and beyond.

By graduation you will be ready to run a full hotel department, hold cross-functional responsibility and prepare for hotel manager, general manager or head-of-department roles. You will study through portfolio-based industry-facing projects, and produce evidence of study that can be shown to UK employers across luxury hotel groups, London serviced apartments, resort properties and estate operators. The Higher Diploma in Facility Management in Hotels also builds the soft-skill scaffolding that employers ask for, including structured written communication, guest-facing conduct, and a professional understanding of housekeeping management platforms, work-order software and inspection tools as they are used across the sector. LSHRM cohorts on the Higher Diploma in Facility Management in Hotels typically include a mix of UK-based applicants, international students and working practitioners moving between roles, and the programme is planned so that classroom discussion, applied assessments and career preparation all reflect that broader industry context throughout the 15 to 18 months.
