We also provide advice on how to prepare for job interviews.
You must be at least 17 years old to undertake this qualification and have a basic understanding of English Language, Literacy, Numeracy and ICT. However, you do not need to have any previous experience or qualifications to enrol.
At the end of the course, learners will also take an online multiple choice question assessment test. This online multiple choice question test is marked automatically so you will receive an instant grade and know whether you have passed the course.
Successful candidates will be awarded a Level 2 Certificate in Office Administration & Reception Training.

I definitely recommend this course to those who prefer learning independently online, also to those who have a busy schedule. Thank you very much for the support
Lilianna Merozka
Fabulous course!
Katrina Tiwaari
Every topic of the course is discussed in depth by using videos and relevant study materials. The structure of course is giving a good platform for me to study this course with less effort and easy to understand, examples and exercise were well designed.
John Abrahem
When I started my research and came across this website, it caught my eye, but I was very confused with which course to take, either the Diploma in Office Administration and Reception or the Office Administration and Reception. When I spoke to one of the advisor’s they happily helped me and advised me on what to do. I then purchased the Office Administration and Reception course. As currently I am almost done with my course. Over all I have been very happy with the mentor support and the layout of the course. This course has been better than I expected.
Mia Rose
Choosing this course has helped me gain confidence as I wish to become a receptionist. Thank for the support.
Hanifaah Ferdous
I received my certificate very quickly which I am very proud of. I am currently working as a receptionist, looking forward to doing a Diploma in the same sector with Global Edulink as they have been fabulous
Jayedur Rahman
I was really happy with the method of assessment, the way it was organised and designed. Very straightforward, thank you Global Edulink
Mazeda Bibi
I chose to do the Office Administration and Reception course (on-line). I can say that this has been perfect for me as I did not know anything about this course, the modules were very understandable and well organised which helped me with my understanding. I am almost finished with my course and I am looking to do the Diploma in Office Administration and reception so I can master this sector. Thank you very much for the support.
Maariya Haque
Considering this is an on-line course, it’s perfect to those who live in a busy environment and don’t have enough time to travel which is the main reason why I chose this course
Jay Singh
I definitely recommend this course to those who prefer learning independently, also to those who have a busy life.
