Description
Course overview
Higher Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management is developed by London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) to provide a progression route for students aiming for a higher qualification in the field of hospitality management.
Students have to attend a course of study and undergo on-the-Job Training of 6 months in a hospitality establishment in Singapore.
The Higher Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management awarded by LSBF aim to focus on the latest development in the hospitality industry. It will help the students to identify and understand the techniques and theory implied in the hospitality environment.
