Higher Diploma in Hotel Branding

Course Overview

The Higher Diploma in Hotel Branding is a Higher Diploma (UK Level 5+ articulation) programme from the London School of International Luxury Hospitality & Hotel Management, a specialist division of Harold International College of London. It runs over 15 to 18 months of industry-facing study and is written against the standards recognised by Institute of Hospitality, UKHospitality, the Chartered Management Institute and the Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality. The syllabus keeps its housekeeping delivery focus throughout, and applied content is drawn from central London city hotels, group properties in Manchester and Edinburgh, and international four-star and five-star chains.

By the close of the Higher Diploma in Hotel Branding, you will be able to discuss housekeeping delivery and brand standard control with sector-appropriate vocabulary, evidence structured study on your CV and interview record, and move confidently into the next stage of your department-head hospitality journey. The programme is anchored to professional-body vocabulary from the Institute of Hospitality, UKHospitality and the Chartered Management Institute, so what you learn stays connected to how the sector actually recruits and promotes.
