You benefit from our experience!

Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

At Staff Training we believe that every individual in the organisation should be held accountable for their performance.

We also believe that receptionists have a very large responsibility on their shoulders. The majority of contact made with any company starts with the receptionist and the way that a receptionist treats our clients or prospective clients can make or break a company.

Frontline training not only reinforces this concept, but also gives the delegates the means to deal with the daily demands placed on them.

It is our experience that too many receptionists are simply placed in this highly demanding job and whilst they learn to perform it competently, reception excellence is not reached until they are exposed to some formal training.

Our main focus for Frontline I is on the telephonic and face to face aspect of receptionist training.
