How does In-House Training Work?
In-house training is one of the most flexible and effective ways of delivering training to your receptionist or front-of-house team.
When delivering in-house training, we work with you to identify any challenges or priorities you would like to address during the workshop. We will tailor the course content to meet those requirements. The result is a training session that is highly relevant to your business.
The course will be delivered online or at a venue of your choosing, on a date that fits in with your schedule. This cuts down on travel time and costs for the participants, and means that you can arrange for training to take place outside of peak business periods.
