Overview

Hotel Management Foundations Training Course is a one-week foundation programme for professionals preparing to coordinate work across hotel departments. Participants learn how hotel business models, organisational structures, guest journeys, rooms operations, service teams, support functions, commercial measures, and daily controls fit together. The course focuses on first-time management literacy rather than advanced operational specialisation. Each participant leaves with a practical Hotel Operations Management Plan.
