    Advanced Certificate Programs in International Hospitality Management

    The definition of an advanced certificate might vary from one institution or country to the next. In most cases, it is a vocational or professional credential earned over the course of six weeks to 18 months.

    What is an advanced certificate in international hospitality management? Hospitality management, in general terms, is often held to be the administration of hotels, guesthouses, cruise liners or similar institutions that provide some combination of domestic services or accommodations to visitors. Common topics covered during internationally focused programs in this subject could include travel agency oversight, foreign language relations, housekeeping science and management. These advanced certificates might be earned at various academic institutions. Some large hotel companies might also offer or sponsor their own programs.

    One might acquire valuable insight into the operation of an international hospitality organization during the course of an advanced certificate program. This could help generate success in a current position or advancement into a leadership role. Prospective hospitality professionals might also benefit from improving their organizational skills and obtaining a credential showing their commitment to the field.

    These programs often vary widely in cost based on multiple factors, such as the student's desired program and the location of the school. Checking with an institution's admissions section is usually the best course of action to learn specifics about expenses.

    A graduate of one of these programs might hope to become a hotel manager at the culmination of his or her career. This position tends to require high-level communication skills, both with hotel owners and guests. The manager often meets directly with VIP and international guests, coordinates executive staff, provides conflict resolution and takes responsibility for the profitability of the hotel.
