Higher Diploma in Guest Room Management Systems
Course Overview
LSHRM's Higher Diploma in Guest Room Management Systems is a UK Level 5+ articulation Higher Diploma running 15 to 18 months, built around guest-room management systems across in-room technology, BMS and IoT and aligned with the Institute of Hospitality, BICSc, the Facilities Management Association and RICS.
Graduates leave able to own the department-level delivery of the programme's core routines and to represent their capability confidently in interviews across housekeeping, facilities, estates and property operations across hotels and resorts.
The Higher Diploma in Guest Room Management Systems sequences its learning around applied hospitality problems rather than abstract theory. Learners encounter case material, live datasets and property walk-throughs, so the study experience mirrors the pace and language of housekeeping, facilities, estates and property operations across hotels and resorts. Each assessment is written to reflect a task a working manager would recognise, not a purely academic exercise.
