We are proud to be working with the responsible hospitality partnership to offer three exciting new courses:

Meeting environmental management and reporting requirements for large businesses
This full day course will provide delegates with a full understanding of the regulatory framework within which they operate and the process necessary to collate annual reports within hospitality businesses. Delegates will leave the course with a good understanding of what their regulatory obligations are, case studies of how other businesses are reporting and a framework for their own environmental reports. This course is for Senior Finance Directors or those new to Responsible Business duties within large hospitality companies (those with ten or more operating units)

Meeting environmental management and reporting requirements for small businesses
This one day course will provide delegates with a full understanding of the regulatory framework within which they operate and the process necessary to collate annual reports within hospitality businesses. Delegates will leave the course with a good understanding of what their regulatory obligations are, case studies of how other businesses are reporting and a framework for their own environmental reports. This course is for Senior Finance Directors or those new to Responsible Business duties within small hospitality companies (10 units or less)

An introduction to Environmental Issues for Finance Managers
The course will introduce finance managers and others delegated with responsibility for responsible business compliance to their obligations to report on progress to shareholders, customers and others with an interest in the business. This half-day course has been developed specifically for finance managers in hospitality businesses, employees new to responsible business roles and accountants and others who advise hospitality businesses.

We provide membership support services for over 1,000 members including the provision of a variety of education programmes and CPD opportunities.

Our latest project includes managing the development of a new education programme in Revenue Management accredited by Oxford Brookes University. This unique course will seek to combine the disciplines of economics, marketing, finance, strategy and human psychology with examples and case studies based on hospitality products and services.
