Course Overview

The Higher Diploma in Hospitality Risk and Safety Management expands your professional practice in hospitality risk and safety management inside a integrated hospitality 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 15 to 18 months and is written against UK and international hospitality standards, with reference to bodies such as Chartered Management Institute (CMI), Institute of Travel and Tourism (ITT) and Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM), giving you the technician-to-manager articulation for department-head, duty-manager and sub-executive positions in luxury and international properties. The taught content on the Higher Diploma in Hospitality Risk and Safety Management moves from foundation principles into structured practice, using briefings, checklists and mini case studies drawn from working integrated hospitality settings.

As you progress, you will study a structured curriculum that connects integrated hospitality strategy to cross-sector practice and commercial performance inside a boutique hospitality brand setting, so by the point of graduation, you will be able to move into department-head and duty-manager roles, own performance for a defined operational area and mentor supervisors below you. The Higher Diploma in Hospitality Risk and Safety Management sequences its modules so that theory is always tested against the operational realities of a functioning consultancy.

Modern integrated hospitality businesses expect their people to combine service instinct with a working grasp of systems, brand standards and commercial reporting. The Higher Diploma in Hospitality Risk and Safety Management is designed to develop both dimensions inside a single, coherent programme. LSILHHM has built the Higher Diploma in Hospitality Risk and Safety Management to reflect the day-to-day paperwork, systems and service moments that shape a modern consultancy operation.
