Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

A Way Into An Office

The front desk is where a lot of office careers start. This is the training for it.

It Does Not Stop There

The second stage moves into business admin, including project work.

A Body To Join

Twelve months with the Australian Institute of Office Professionals is included.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

The front desk is the face of a business, and the people who run it well get noticed. The day is visitors, phones, diaries and the small fires nobody planned for.

Reception Supervisor

Run the desk and the people on it.

Client Welcome Coordinator

Own the first minute of every visit.

Visitor Services Lead

Keep the front of house calm and tidy.

Switchboard Team Lead

Keep calls moving to the right people.

Customer Liaison Supervisor

Be the steady voice clients come back to.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every job is different, and some ask for more study or experience.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need office experience?

None at all. The pathway starts with the role itself.

Do I need Word or Excel first?

You do not. Both are taught inside the first certificate.

How long do I get?

Ask an advisor for the current access period when you enquire.

Are there exams?

No exams, ever. You work through the topics at your own pace.

What is the AIOP membership?

Twelve months with the office professionals body, including member events.

Is this pathway accredited?

It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office, and it earns CPD credits. It is not nationally recognised, and the college is not an RTO. Front desk hiring leans on how you handle people, not paper.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. A 10-day money back guarantee applies from enrolment.
