Why Lernern.com’s Skill-Based Hotel Management Degree Beats Traditional Programs

Hotel management is one of the most exciting careers in the service industry — but traditional hotel management degrees come with a huge problem:

  • High tuition fees (₹4–8 lakh or more)
  • 3 years in the classroom with limited industry exposure
  • No income while studying
  • Graduates start with entry-level salaries despite their investment

At Lernern.com, we offer a Skill-Based Higher Education Hotel Management Program that’s built differently:

  • 1 Year Study + 2 Years Paid Internships/On-the-Job Training
  • Earn a stipend while studying
  • Graduate with Degree + 2 Years of Work Experience
  • Lowest fees in the market compared to traditional programs
  • Better placement and faster career growth

How the Lernern Model Works

  1. Year 1: Classroom learning in hotel operations, F&B service, front office, housekeeping, customer service, plus digital hospitality tools.
  2. Year 2 & 3: Full-time internships or on-the-job training in partner hotels/resorts with monthly stipend.
  3. After Graduation: Degree + 2 years of experience → eligible for supervisor or junior management roles with higher salary packages.
