We have noticed that there is a great demand for Secretarial Courses that give you the opportunity to qualify as a trained Personal Assistant and competent Receptionist, so we developed these specialised courses to meet that need.



What does a Personal Assistant do?


A Personal Assistant is someone who performs general office functions such as handling enquiries, telephone calls and greeting visitors. Other tasks also include duties such as making appointments for their managers, organising and taking the minutes at meetings, upholding general administration in the office and ensuring their managers are always informed and up to date with the latest developments in the company.



What does a Receptionist do?


A Receptionist has the primary function of handling telephone calls and incoming enquiries. You need to be able to multitask, because some office environments are very stressful and many things need to happen at the same time. You will be responsible for making appointments and screening incoming calls, so that the person on the other end on the line is directed to the correct department.



What skills do I need to become a Personal Assistant or a Receptionist?


There are no formal entry requirements, but in order to be a successful Personal Assistant or Receptionist, you need very good organisational and basic literacy skills. You also need to be good with handling administrative tasks and your time management needs to be especially good. Your manager would rely on your ability to be punctual, precise and friendly, so if you are good with these tasks, you should be very successful!
