Qualifications and training required

Relevant work experience is essential for entry into the profession; this can include hotel, catering, retailing, waitressing or bar work. A hotel/catering management or hospitality qualification can be advantageous. Graduates with non-relevant degrees could obtain a postgraduate diploma in hotel management or build up an extensive amount of experience. A management, languages, leisure or business studies, travel or tourism degree may also be helpful.

Knowledge of foreign languages can be an advantage.
