Diploma in Resort Management
Course Overview
The Diploma in Resort Management builds your capability in resort management 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 9 to 12 months and is written against UK and international hospitality standards, with reference to bodies such as Institute of Hotel Management (IHM), British Hospitality Association (UKHospitality) and Chartered Management Institute (CMI), giving you practitioner-level competence to run a shift, deliver a section and coordinate a small team to brand standard. The taught content on the Diploma in Resort Management moves from foundation principles into structured practice, using briefings, checklists and mini case studies drawn from working hotel operations settings.
As you progress, you will study a structured curriculum that connects rooms division to brand standards and housekeeping inside a five-star hotel setting, so by the point of graduation, you will be able to run a shift, brief a small team, maintain brand standards, hit service targets and step into a first supervisory role. Applied exercises across the Diploma in Resort Management draw on the routines and standards used inside UK and international hotel operations businesses, so nothing you study feels detached from the industry.
Employers across the hotel operations sector look for candidates who can move confidently between guest-facing service and back-of-house reporting. The Diploma in Resort Management is built to cover both sides of that skill picture. LSILHHM has built the Diploma in Resort Management to reflect the day-to-day paperwork, systems and service moments that shape a modern city hotel operation.
