Upskill in your dream job with our online training courses in luxury interiors and housekeeping
Master luxury housekeeping and specialist interior skills with the top online training courses designed by industry experts.
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 luxury housekeeping is tough, especially at the start when everything is new. Expectations within the luxury industry are incredibly high. This is an industry where cleaning and laundry becomes a very refined and particular skill. It’s something you will be doing 85% of your time, so you must know what you’re doing and do it right.
Learning on the job also often isn’t possible. From day one your job will include long hours and some pretty unglamourous situations. The job is fast paced, leaving little time to learn and zero room for costly errors. So the idyllic dream can turn into a bit of a nightmare.
Errors will harm your career potential
Imagine, you’ve just started your new career and you use the wrong cloth on an expensive interior finish which leaves it scratched. Or you mistake a garment made from silk as chiffon and the wash cycle leaves the item with sentimental value 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.
A mistake such as this can cost you a lot of embarrassment and sometimes even your job. In your role you will be expected to have the foundation knowledge of cleaning and laundry.
That means for both your everyday cleaning and laundry tasks you need to have a strong understanding of chemicals you’ll be using, tools and equipment and the machines you’ll be operating, and be confident in your expertise. This type of knowledge isn’t generally
So, how can you upskill and get the knowledge needed?
Source Training founder, Sheila, is on a mission to give everyone in luxury housekeeping the opportunity to learn the knowledge needed to be successful in their career.
At Source Training, we’re on a mission to empower everyone who works in luxury housekeeping with knowledge and confidence to tackle everyday challenges from day one.
