Course Overview

Introduction

We offers this course with the approval of BTEC Edexcel. The Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Hospitality Management provides a specialist work-related programme of study that covers the key knowledge, understanding, and practical skills required in the hospitality industry and also offers particular specialist emphasis through the choice of specialist units.

Aim of the course

The Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Hospitality Management offers students five specialist pathways designed to support progression into relevant occupational areas or on to degree level study. These pathways are linked to Professional Body standards (where appropriate) and can provide professional status and progression to direct employment.

  • Culinary Arts Management
  • Food and Beverage
  • Accommodation and Revenue Management
  • Events
  • Innovative Marketing and Sales

There is also a non-specialist ‘General Hospitality Management’ pathway, which allows students to complete a Level 5 Higher National Diploma without committing to a particular professional specialism. This offers additional flexibility to providers and students.
