Housekeeping Training

The NIHF, in conjunction with Hallmark Training, has created a one-day programme for Housekeeping Attendants.

Professional Housekeeping Operations

Maldron Hotel Belfast
Wednesday 10th January 2024
09.30 - 16.00

The aim of this programme is to help housekeeping/room attendants develop best practice in servicing hotel accommodation. At the end of this programme participants will be able to:

• Recognise the importance of the accommodation department & its contribution to the bottom line
• State what is expected of them as house assistants/room attendants
• Describe the main principles & practices of cleaning
• Explain the importance of standards
• Be better able to clean hotel accommodation to the standards required

The content has been created with a practical approach designed to give a good grounding to front line staff within the housekeeping function, to highlight the importance of their role and to instil best practice principles.
