Course Overview

The Higher Diploma in Property Maintenance Systems is a UK Level 5+ articulation programme of 15 to 18 months delivered by LSHRM. It develops the department-head skills needed to lead property maintenance systems across hotel and resort estates, covering computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS), asset registers, planned maintenance programmes and contractor governance. The programme is aligned with IWFM, FMA and CIOB references.

By graduation you will be able to lead a property maintenance systems function, configure and run a CMMS, oversee asset registers and represent systems performance in the executive committee.

The fifteen to eighteen month curriculum walks you through department head property maintenance systems, from CMMS configuration and asset registers to planned maintenance programmes and contractor governance. Assessment blends a CMMS configuration case study, an asset register brief, a planned maintenance brief and a department head presentation to a mock hotel executive committee.

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

On completion, Property Maintenance Systems learners can progress into the LSHRM Bachelor top-up, moving from department head articulation (UK Level 5+) standard into full honours undergraduate territory without repeating material. Every Property Maintenance Systems 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.
