BTEC Higher Nationals Hospitality Management (2018) - RQF
Industry engagement
Industry is placed at the heart of Pearson BTEC Higher National qualifications. Throughout qualification development and validation, we work with industry experts to structure our qualifications to meet industry standards.
Co-designed with industry, higher and further education experts, and students, Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals provide real-world experience as well as academic knowledge. This ensures students will leave with the required expertise as identified by business and industry, and with the flexibility to go straight into employment or continue to a degree.
Our work with industry
We work with industry post-validation to further recognise our qualifications as high quality and career focused; whether that be in the form of upskilling their own workforce with our qualifications or simply formally accepting the qualification as a part of the application process.
We are proud to have developed our BTEC Higher National in Hospitality Management with experts from large, global organisations, including:
- The Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality
- The Four Seasons Hotel
- Chew Events
- The Marriott Hotel (Bexley Heath)
- Baglioni Hotels (Kensington)
- Tablet Catering
- Novus Lexus Ltd
- Wineaux Consultancy
- Liquid Chefs
- Hosco.
The representatives are able to help design our qualifications to equip learners with skills required by industry across the world.
