Hospitality Manager Apprenticeship Level 4

Hospitality Manager Apprenticeship Level 4

Course introduction


You can take a big step towards securing a managerial role in hospitality thanks to this apprenticeship opportunity.

Hospitality managers generally specialise in one area; however, their core knowledge, skills and behaviours show distinct commonalities.

Individuals in this role are highly-motivated leaders that combine a talent for management with specific industry skills and thrive on the customer-facing nature of the role.

Hospitality Managers generally have a high level of responsibility and are accountable for achieving business objectives, which requires excellent business, people and customer relation skills.

This apprenticeship is suitable for you if you are working in a bar, restaurant, café, conference centre, banqueting venue, hotel, cruise ship or private household. It is also suitable for you if you have been offered such a role.
