About the Hospitality Manager (Chartered Manager) Degree Apprenticeship

This programme has been designed to meet the growing need for hospitality staff in the UK, who are equipped with the necessary specialist and transferable managerial skills.

The hospitality industry in the UK has changed significantly over recent years. Where demand is now increasing again, many businesses are finding they have been left with a skills gap.

Teaching is delivered over 3 years and modules are delivered in blocks.

The programme provides learners with the right balance of practical, managerial, and leadership skills to be an effective manager in hospitality. In the first year, they will cover key fundamentals such as finance, marketing, and the global industry landscape. In the second year, they cover areas such as leadership and management skills, and delivery operational plans. And in the final year, learners cover more strategy, contemporary issues, and they work on a live, applied project.

Apprentices will graduate with a BA (Hons) in Applied Hospitality Management and they will also qualify for Chartered Manager status from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).

What are Degree Apprenticeships?

Degree apprenticeships are a fantastic way to upskill employees and train new staff. They contribute to improved competitiveness and productivity, as well as increased staff retention.

Degree apprentices study for higher level qualifications alongside working. As such, they spend at least 6 working hours each week carrying out ‘off-the-job training’ where they study for their degree and gain the knowledge, skills and behaviours that are required to successfully complete the apprenticeship.

Large employers can use their apprenticeships levy to pay for apprenticeship training. Smaller firms can claim up to 95 per cent of these costs from the Government. This means apprenticeships are a cost-effective choice for both the employer and learner.
