This Diploma is designed for individuals who wish to gain a range of essential office and computer skills to be able to fulfil the receptionist role - an integral role within a business operation.
A good receptionist is considered to be an integral part of a business operation and with the right skills and training will be fulfilling one of the most challenging roles of any organisation. As the eyes and ears of the business, the receptionist is, to some extent, a buffer for other people in the office.
One of the most important functions of the role is to be of help to others. You will be expected to multi-task and deal with enquiries even when you are busy. If you like taking care of people but don’t want the responsibility of being a manager or team leader then this role can offer you a great chance to liaise with and organise people.
Telephone call handling, keyboard and good administrative skills are essential for most receptionists. Pitman Training gives you the opportunity to learn these valuable skills to enable you to work successfully within this demanding and most crucial role. Learning receptionist skills is easy with Pitman Training.
Our tried and trusted methods are the best available. You will work at your own pace in our comfortable premises, helped by experienced tutors as required. You choose your own hours and keep the reference materials when the course is over.
