PG Diploma in Hotel Management

PG Diploma in Hotel Management (PGDHM) is a one-year postgraduate diploma that prepares graduates of any discipline for a career in hotel and hospitality operations, and a few institutes offer it as a two-year programme. It covers front office management, food production, food and beverage service, housekeeping, hotel accountancy and hospitality marketing, combined with practical training in mock kitchens, front office and housekeeping labs, and an industrial training placement. The programme suits graduates who did not study hospitality at the undergraduate level but want to switch into hotel management, travel, catering or related service industries, and offers a faster route into supervisory or management-trainee roles than starting a fresh bachelor's degree.
