Pitman Training Professional Receptionist.

An Essential One-Day Seminar - Only £331.80.

If you’re responsible for making your organisation’s first impression on callers and visitors, this receptionist training seminar is a must!

We’ll help you understand the importance of the receptionist’s role and explain how to project the best image for your organisation.

This programme is delivered regularly to individual students at our London High Holborn and Manchester training centres (see dates below) and can also be delivered in-house at your premises or ours for groups of 6 or more. This seminar will teach students how to carry out their receptionist duties with polish and elan, making everyone welcome and winning the respect of colleagues and management – they’ll notice the difference immediately on your return to work!

Following the seminar, students will demonstrate increased work effectiveness and application of the key responsibilities involved in this job role.

Any grey areas concerning what is expected of a receptionist will be clarified, giving students much greater confidence at work.

Students will receive a workbook with practical exercises and individual notes to ensure that the skills learnt on this course will be successfully applied in the workplace.

They will also receive a widely recognised Pitman Training Certificate.

Many attendees use this course as the starting point for a future career as an administrator or secretary. After all, having a Pitman Training course on your CV can only be impressive!

What’s Next?

Many reception staff find the next step in their career development is to learn to touch type properly, or if they can already touch type, to develop their speed to at least 70 wpm.

We have really enjoyable, low-cost courses for both of these goals (click here to read about them) and there can be no doubt that they both open the door to jobs in administration, secretarial and IT work.
