Reasons why people working in luxury interiors and housekeeping love our Source training courses:
Designed by top industry experts
Learn essential knowledge and skills you’ll use everyday in your job
Take the course from anywhere and at your own pace
Short modules can be fitted in easily to a busy schedule
Boosts confidence
You might be thinking you don’t need to learn how to clean or do laundry
Maybe you think you already know how to do both or you’re expecting to learn on the job. Unfortunately, that’s what most think, but the reality is quite different. From day one your job will include long hours and some pretty unglamorous situations. The job is fast-paced, leaving little time to learn and zero room for costly errors.
Expectations within the luxury industry are also incredibly high. This is an industry where cleaning and laundry are a refined and particular skill, and something you will be doing 85% of your time, so you must know what you’re doing and do it right.
Errors will harm your career potential
Imagine, you use the wrong cloth on an expensive finish which leaves it scratched. Or you mistake a garment made from silk as chiffon and the wash cycle leaves it irreparable. These are easy mistakes to make if you’re new to the role or aren’t familiar with the tools and equipment you’re using, but they’re embarrassing and could cost you your job.
You’ll be expected to have a strong understanding of both cleaning and laundry. You should be confident carrying out tasks, using chemicals, different tools and equipment, and know the machines you’ll be operating. This type of knowledge isn’t generally required in the home or for work experience, but it’s something you must learn if you want to be successful in your career.
So, how can you upskill and get
the knowledge needed?
At Source, we’re on a mission to empower everyone who works in luxury housekeeping with knowledge and confidence to tackle everyday challenges from day one.
