Overview

The often used phrase, "just the Receptionist", completely misrepresents the role. An excellent Receptionist is a most valuable resource for any business. Reception is pivotal as a crucial first impression for new clients, consistency for existing clients and disseminating information around the company. In so many ways, the Receptionist makes a substantial contribution to maintaining service standards and working relationships with both clients and colleagues.

Reception to Perfection deals with the essential skills necessary to represent the business to the best possible effect, within the added pressures of 21st century communication.

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.
