Professional Receptionist Skills Training Course (1 Day)

Overview

As the first point of contact in your business the receptionist plays a key role in providing an important first and lasting impression to new and existing clients. The customer service experience both face to face and over the telephone is critical to the reputation and the success of any business ensuring everyone is handling efficiently and confidently at all times.

Our one-day training course is ideal for those working or covering reception duties including the handling of incoming calls for the business. The training day is tailored to your requirements through our pre-course questionnaire issued at the time of booking.

Normal timings: 9 am to 5 pm

Preferential rates for tailored in-company training for small groups.

We will continue to review the government guidance through 2020/21 to ensure all our small group training courses allow for adequate social distancing. We will always select a spacious training room and adjust the delivery methods to take into account the need for social distancing.

We also offer the option of Video/Tele-Conferencing training/coaching through Zoom.

Booking confirmations: We will email you to confirm receipt of your booking within five working days. A confirmation invoice will be issued to either request payment by either BACS/cheque or confirmation of payment if you have made a card payment already through our World Pay Account. Again this will be issued within five working days. Also detailed joining instructions are normally released by email at least seven working days prior to the date of the course.

We look forward to receiving your booking and welcoming you onto the course.
