GENERAL INFORMATION
What we do, and how we work, to make sure you get the most from the courses you attend
Receptionists can be overlooked or even considered non-essential for the successful running of a company, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Receptionists occupy a front-line position within an organisation and are therefore one of the most visible - and important - employees within the structure. Their skills and expertise can mean the difference between losing a potential customer and gaining a loyal client.
Being a receptionist is a significant responsibility and this role is often more complex than it might seem. There can be many things to deal with in addition to the "meet and greet" and telephone handling duties. There can be meetings to organise and schedule, deliveries to co-ordinate and general administration to deal with. Being an efficient and reliable receptionist is not an easy task, and this is where a receptionist skills course can help you.
