Advanced Diploma in Luxury Front Office Management
Course Overview
Studied across 12 to 15 months, the Advanced Diploma in Luxury Front Office Management is an Advanced Diploma anchored in supervisory practice and referenced against the Institute of Hospitality (IoH). The programme concentrates on front-of-house leadership, VIP arrivals, upsell strategy and the front office as guest-experience command centre, and sits within LSILHHM's luxury, five-star and premium travel service portfolio in central London. Modules blend theoretical grounding with applied case material drawn from private membership clubs and chateau and country-house hotel groups, and every submission is written up to a professional standard.
Delivery is available on-campus in central London and online for UK-based, distance-based and international learners, with the same syllabus, tutors and assessment across all routes. Applicants can choose the delivery route that best fits their current work commitments, family life and travel plans, and switch between routes at defined intake points if their circumstances change. LSILHHM tutors provide weekly office hours, and the Advanced Diploma in Luxury Front Office Management module handbook signposts referenced reading from bodies such as the Institute of Hospitality (IoH).
By the end of the programme graduates can supervise a shift, oversee brand-standard delivery, lead a service-recovery conversation and start owning small commercial projects across international luxury resort operators and London five-star hotels. The LSILHHM careers team supports graduates into their first role with structured coaching, employer introductions and a warm handover to alumni already working in the sector.
