Certificate in Hospitality Studies (Two-Year Program)

A two-year intensive course, structured into four semesters, leading to the award of the Level 2 National Skills Qualification (NSQ) certificate as well as the school’s Certificate in Hospitality Operations. Together, these credentials equip graduates with a nationally recognized qualification and a solid institutional certification, ensuring they are both industry-ready and highly competitive in the job market.

About the National Skills Qualification (NSQ)
The National Skills Qualification (NSQ) is a work-based, industry-driven certification that validates an individual’s ability to perform effectively in real-world job roles. It is built on National Occupational Standards (NOS), which define the essential skills and competencies required across various sectors.

For LIHS students, earning the Level 2 NSQ in Hospitality means graduating with a qualification that is recognized both nationally and internationally. It assures employers that our graduates are not only knowledgeable but also competent in practical hospitality tasks — from food production to front office management. This gives LIHS alumnae a competitive edge in the job market and the confidence to excel in diverse hospitality roles.
