You only have one chance to make an impression. It doesn’t matter if your organisation is large or small, for a client your company comes down to the professionalism received and image at the front desk.

The Corporate Receptionist workshop develops front line staff to become highly professional and efficient when dealing both face to face and telephonically with clients. They will understand the importance of communicating in a corporate and courteous manner to both internal and external customers.

This learning programme also covers key aspects of proper conduct and administrative practices in the reception area. It will equip delegates with practical skills to monitor and control the reception area efficiently. Learners will be well positioned to extend their learning and practice into other areas in the business environment, striving towards professional standards and practice at higher levels.
