Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need reception experience?

None. The course starts with what the role involves.

Do I need to know Word and Excel?

Not beforehand. Both are taught inside the course.

How fast can I finish?

That is up to you. The course is self-paced with no set class times.

Are there exams?

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

Is this course accredited?

It is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office. It is not nationally recognised, and the college is not an RTO. Front desk hiring leans hard on manner, reliability and software confidence.

Can I get a refund?

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