Description

Office and Reception Management Certification

Demonstrating organisational competence in this field opens doors to advancing an employee’s career in the business.

This programme consists of 18 modules, designed to provide an insight into what is expected from a person working in an office environment.

The industry-approved certificate provides the employee with confidence-building skills, to enable them to move up in their career.

What’s Covered in the Course?

The 18 modules cover both office management and interpersonal problem-solving skills, as well as providing insight into the way in which the employee tends to react in these situations.

As the person in this position usually deals with colleagues at all levels of the organisation, it is important that they understand managerial issues and responsibilities.

Performance management and appraisals, staff promotions, recruitment and selection and compliance with equal opportunities and diversity in the workplace legislation are all covered, together with the importance of good health and safety practices.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
