The Hotel Receptionist Course
A wise man once said "To achieve big things, you must first dream big dreams"
Reception Academy, provides an affordable, professional Hotel Receptionist Training to everyone who has always dreamed about working in Hotels as a Hotel Receptionist. The results of the employed graduates, who have completed The Receptionist Course, proved that you do not need to spend thousands of pounds on a degree in Hotel Management, nor years of experience to start working for a Hotel brand such as Hilton, Marriott or Radisson. In fact, all you need is a solid hands-on-training combined with the required knowledge and skills. The Receptionist Training offers you an understanding of the role of the Hotel Receptionist, teaches you what you need to do when working as a Hotel Receptionist, (including operating Fidelio Opera) guides you to find the dream job and above all gives you the confidence you need to start working in a new environment and a possibly a new country.
Why do The Receptionist Training at Reception Academy?
Reception Academy came about as a result of Hotels looking for fully skilled Hotel Receptionists to work in their Hotels and passionate individuals wanting a career in The Hospitality industry. The Hotel Receptionist Courses offered at Reception Academy enable those individuals without Hotel Receptionist experience to start working in Hotels throughout UK and be employed as Hotel Receptionists. As the leading training company for Hotel Receptionists we currently work closely with a number of well known Hotels. Our unique concept is to provide a platform, connecting fully trained students with hotels looking to recruit staff. Great effort has been taken to create a training programme based on the requirement of hotels when they look to hire a Hotel Receptionist. This course is both beneficial to students as well as hotels looking to employ them.
Upon completion of The Receptionist Courses the graduates will have the relevant skills, required knowledge, experience and confidence to work as a Hotel Receptionist in different hotels. We have a number of hotels which hire graduates from us upon completion, whilst we do not guarantee any one a job we will immensely increase their chances of finding employment in hotels as our programme is designed towards this result.
Fidelio Opera PMS V5 Full Service
The Receptionist Training includes relevant Front of House training on Fidelio Opera Property Management System. Fidelio Opera is a Property Management System, used by a majority of Hotels to run their reservations, reception, conference & events, accounts, etc. When talking to Hotels we were advised that if our graduates who had completed The Receptionist Courses are also taught Fidelio Opera their chances of finding employment in Hotels would be much higher. Due to this high demand we decided to introduce the latest version of Fidelio Opera as part of the Receptionist Training and we have seen the result already. Many of the graduates that have completed the Receptionist Courses including training on Fidelio Opera, have now found jobs in major Hotels in London.
The Hotel Receptionist Training
The Receptionist Training takes place at our Academy near Liverpool Street Station. We only allow a maximum number of 16 students per Receptionist Course which is why the course gets full quickly. During the Receptionist Training Course, each student gets dedicated lap top with Fidelio Opera programmed on it. The Receptionist Courses also include relevant training behind our replica reception desk. Throughout the Receptionist Course each student will carry out many check-ins & check-outs behind the desk using Fidelio Opera reservation system. The Receptionist Training also includes CV writing skills. During the Receptionist Course you are guided to create a new CV in a simple format which enables Hotels to clearly understand who you are and what your skills are. This is important as the HR Managers in Hotels are often too busy to sieve through unnecessary details on CVs. Throughout the Receptionist Course you are taught exactly how to highlight relevant information on your CVs. Another equally important aspect of The Receptionist Course is the Interview Skills section. During the Receptionist Training you are taught fundamental interviewing skills. From what to wear, to what to say and how to follow up an interview, The Receptionist Training Course covers it all. A Career Path Planning section during the Receptionist Course shows the students what their futures in Hospitality could potentially be like. This is an amazing opportunity to start a new career without spending a lot of money on a degree and spending years studying.
