Preparing for the industry

Hotel management is a challenging career, requiring a broad range of talents including planning, finance, human resources, leadership and marketing. The depth of experience in a successful hotel manager's skill-set can take years to develop without formal training.

To gain the leadership expertise for a career in hotel management, apply for a Le Cordon Bleu Bachelor of Business (International Hotel Management) or Master of International Hospitality Management. The Bachelor’s programme is available in both Adelaide and Sydney, with the Master’s degree offered in Adelaide. During a three-year Bachelor of Business, you'll develop your potential to lead within an organisation, and learn how to raise hotel productivity and achieve long-term success. The Master’s degree will teach you next-level leadership and equip you for senior management positions worldwide.

Managing the world's finest hotels starts with Le Cordon Bleu.
