My name is Sun Moritz and I am head of The London Reception Academy. I was lucky enough to start my corporate career in reception. The experience gave me many transferable skills and before I realised, I was head receptionist for a marketing company. I acquired all the tricks of the trade and my new found confidence helped me secure more exciting roles further in my career.
I have always felt passionate about being a receptionist since starting my career at the age of 17 for a very large company. Everyone knew who I was and so much was relied upon me being at my best!
Here I will teach you many skills required to master the role of a receptionist including the following:
1. Speaking in the correct way.
2. Presenting yourself on reception.
3. How to present an air of confidence to those around you.
4. Handling conflict when on the phone and face to face.
5. Building trust quickly with a difficult person.
6. Managing different behaviours.
7. Sharpening your listening skills.
8. Mastering attention to detail.
9. Learning how to spin many plates by becoming efficient whilst maintaining a calm composure.
10. Supporting you through a number of exercises giving you clarity of what's required in the role.
Most importantly, it is key to enjoy the process yet maintain a professional demeanour when placed at front of house reception. From acorns grow oak trees and reception may only be the start for you. A receptionist is such a vital role in any organisation so ensure you have your notebook, an open mind, a willingness to learn and a determination to succeed!

I have been a reception and customer service trainer for over 5 years and have successfully run academies in London for the Miss Reception Training Academy and The London Reception Academy. I have helped and supported people from all walks of life to master how to become a professional receptionist and how to find employment in this field. I pride myself on excellence and look to instil this within this training.
I have always been passionate about reception as this is where I started at the tender age of 15. I have been fortunate to work for some truly prestigious companies from merchant banks to media firms, advertising, marketing, insurance and telecoms to name just a few.
Reception was just the start for me as I progressed to other roles such as Personal Assistant and Manager. I opened my first recruitment agency in 2000 and spent many years recruiting receptionists for a variety of roles.
The training academies were born purely from a client asking if one of our receptionists had been on a course because she was so excellent! The light bulb went off and Miss Reception was born.
The success of Miss Reception helped launched The London Reception Academy in 2008 and we have never looked back. It has been truly remarkable to see people from all over the world come through our doors and leave transformed.
The feeling we get when someone lands their first reception role or gets promoted feels surreal every time and it's incredible to know we played a part in this.
We now feel blessed to pass this same knowledge to you without the expensive air fare to London!
As a recruiter, I will also pass down the bonus skills of how to not only write a killer CV but land a reception interview and answer the questions. You will do the rest with the confidence, self assurance, skills, etiquette, body language and the inner strength that you will gain.
I really look forward to seeing you in class.
