An excellent course to give you the knowledge, skill, competence and attitude required to provide excellent customer service and customer satisfaction in the workplace. An important part of this course is your ability to manage internal and external communications effectively using the most appropriate channels, ensuring they are timely, co-ordinated, coherent, customer focused and reflective of the company vision.
Learning at your own pace doesn’t mean learning alone. At Lir, our Fully Online, Self-Paced course in Reception and Frontline Office Skills is designed for busy learners who want the freedom to study when it suits them – while still having access to real guidance, structure, and human support.
Studies show that learners in online environments with flexible pacing perform just as well as in-person learners – when clear structure and tutor interaction are present. (Source: Bernard et al., 2009; Moore et al., 2011, Journal of Distance Education)
