Why is this course not available as an online course?

Learning a new skill is not always simple and you need support and practice if you want to be able to successfully start a new career from scratch. Yes, you can learn certain theoretical aspects of a new job online but let's be honest it is rarely fun or effective and it certainly will not give you the hands-on experience you need if you are serious about your career ambitions.

Maybe the following example will make it clearer why taking an online course will not prepare you for a job in the hotel industry:

Ask yourself "Can you really learn to drive a car by completing a simple online course?" Most certainly not! You have to physically sit in the car, feel what it is like to steer and drive on the roads and learn what challenges you may face; the instructor safely by your side to give you a helping hand and guidance when needed. The same can be said about wanting to learn and become a Hotel Receptionist. It may look simple but it requires a lot of skill and training to make it look effortless.

Remember, once employed by a hotel you will be working with a very expensive hotel software and real paying guests. No hotel will allow you to do so just because you completed a simple online course. Practicing on real paying guests, without having received the right professional training beforehand, can damage a hotels' reputation and your confidence. At Reception Academy we will help you build both, strong practical experience and confidence which will not only get you the job but help you to build the career you are aspiring to.

This course is more suitable for

• People with previous experience as a hotel receptionist
• Excellent for those who want to learn the most popular Property Management System
• Graduates/post-graduates who have completed Hospitality degrees/further qualifications and are looking to refine their CVs.

There are no restrictions for attendance however we generally recommend this classroom course for applicants with some previous Hotel Receptionist experience.
