Course Overview

The Certificate in Hospitality English Communication takes you deep into hospitality english communication inside a hotel operations setting, delivered by the London School of International Luxury Hospitality & Hotel Management (LSILHHM), a division of Harold International College of London. The programme runs for approximately 3 to 6 months and is written against UK and international hospitality standards, with reference to bodies such as Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) and Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality (CTH), giving you introductory awareness of the day-to-day service standards, vocabulary and guest-facing routines that support this discipline. The taught content on the Certificate in Hospitality English Communication moves from foundation principles into structured practice, using briefings, checklists and mini case studies drawn from working hotel operations settings.

Through applied case work, you will study a structured curriculum that connects guest experience to front office and food and beverage inside a resort setting, so by the point of graduation, you will be able to welcome and orient guests, describe service standards accurately, follow arrival, service and departure routines, and progress into a Diploma route with confidence. Applied exercises across the Certificate in Hospitality English Communication draw on the routines and standards used inside UK and international hotel operations businesses, so nothing you study feels detached from the industry.
