The qualifications comprise: Level 2 business skills certificate for hospitality, leisure and tourism; Level 3 certificate in management for hospitality, leisure and tourism; Level 4 diploma for hospitality, leisure and tourism.
IoH chief executive Philippe Rossiter said: "It is anticipated that hospitality industry centres and training providers will begin offering the new qualifications from September 2007 onwards."
