The Master Innholders Developing Additional Skills programme (MIDAS) is a 6-month online training program devised to help those in the hospitality industry better manage their teams and improve their overall management skills.
Over the 6 months, candidates will enjoy networking and structured learning in a group of like-minded people, fully supported by a team of experienced hoteliers and tutors. Candidates will be able to undertake learning at their own pace, with regular virtual classrooms and meetings with their peers and tutors to discuss their learnings and share their experiences.
Upon completion, candidates will achieve an ILM Award in Leadership & Management at Level 3, as well as a MIDAS certificate in Managing Team Performance from The Master Innholders.
An ideal candidate will be someone still fairly new to their career in hospitality but is someone that already manages a team of people and the success of their role is reliant on the performance of the team they are managing. The candidate will also be someone who enjoys engaging and motivating their team but also wishes to know more about how to be more effective when managing their team.
The Master Innholders has revealed the latest cohort to undertake the newly revamped Master Innholders Developing Additional Skills (MIDAS) programme.
The cohort is comprised of seven individuals who have demonstrated an aptitude and enthusiasm for management within the hospitality industry, including:
- Salvatore Iovino, Room Service Manager, The Ritz London
