About Direction Hospitality Training

Find out why hospitality professionals have been choosing Direction Hospitality Training for over 35 years

At Direction Training Associates, we believe that great hospitality starts with great people and even better learning. Since 1991, we’ve been helping hospitality businesses unlock the potential of their teams through training that’s designed not just to inspire, but to stick.  

As our tagline says, everything we create is “written and designed by operators, for operators.” We know the pressure, pace and people of this industry first hand and that’s exactly how we approach learning. Over recent years, our digital learning platform has supported operators across the UK with flexible, high impact eLearning. We’re proud to say we put the learning back in eLearning, practical, real world content that speaks your team’s language.  

Now in 2025, we’re relaunching our consultancy and face to face training services, with a renewed focus on building meaningful, bespoke solutions for hospitality teams. Whether you’re looking to improve guest experience, strengthen leadership behaviours or align your management strategy, we design for your business, your teams and your learners. Never off the shelf, always on purpose.
