The largest hotel owner-operator in London, Clermont Hotel, has announced the opening of The Academy, a dedicated learning and development centre designed to deliver best-in-class hospitality training for its new and current employees.
Partnering with accredited apprenticeship providers, Clermont Hotel Group will offer its employees nationally-recognised qualifications, covering all aspects of the business from Level 2 Production Chef to Level 7 Accountancy. The Academy, the group said, was created to help people forge lasting and successful careers within the hospitality, leisure and travel industries.
The curriculum allows employees to access a mix of face-to-face and virtual masterclasses, focusing on live scenarios, as well as downloadable materials such as how-to guides and development toolkits.
Amanda Hall, head of learning and development at Clermont Hotel Group, said: “We are delighted to be presenting The Academy to our wonderful people. They are at the heart of everything we do for our customers, and their development is of huge importance as we set out to grow and expand the business following the rebrand from Great London Hospitality (GLH) to Clermont Hotel Group.”
Last Autumn, GLH rebranded as Clermont Hotel Group, a move which marked the culmination of £90m investment in the past five years.
Hall added: “As part of our journey to becoming Clermont Hotel Group, we underwent a significant project internally to craft a refreshed set of core values.”
