Course Overview

The outward appearance of an establishment and what guests see as they enter the foyer can make all the difference. Even before they enter their allocated rooms, there are many things that guests come in contact with, for example, the check-in counter, elevator, staircase, corridor, lounge, and other public areas. With the Certificate Course in Housekeeping, you will learn to look after and maintain it carefully. 

It is a housekeeper’s responsibility to provide guests with a clean, comfortable, and safe environment during their stay. From furniture to décor, guests notice everything. And therefore, housekeepers should know their way around these things. That is where programs like the Certificate Course in Housekeeping by D.Y. Patil University came into the picture.

It is a six-month training and certification program. The well-structured curriculum of the Housekeeping certification course strikes the perfect balance between theory and practice.
