Program details

Overview

Hotel and Restaurant Management (Hospitality – Hotel Operations Management) is a two-year, four-semester Ontario College Diploma offered by Centennial College's School of Hospitality and Culinary Arts at the Progress Campus. Students train in the school's on-site restaurant and event facilities, which include four guest rooms used for hands-on rooms-division practice. Coursework spans digital skills for hospitality, food safety, rooms management, hotel sales, human resources, accounting and hospitality leadership. In the fourth semester, students complete a fourteen-week work-integrated learning placement with an industry partner as the program's capstone course. Along the way, students can earn recognized industry certifications including Smart Serve, Food Handlers and CPR/first aid. The program holds SMART+ Premium accreditation from Tourism HR Canada, reflecting standards above the basic industry benchmark, and offers transfer pathways into degree programs at partner institutions such as the University of Guelph, Algonquin College and George Brown College. Admission requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent with Grade 12 English. Graduates pursue roles such as general manager, housekeeping manager, food and beverage manager or front desk manager, making the program suited to students seeking hands-on training for hotel and hospitality operations management careers.
