tbh? About as much as it would qualify you to work in a shop or fly a plane. Sign up with a temping agency and see if they do training in reception or office admin.

I personally used https://www.reed.co.uk - its where all the temp agencies, or most of them place their temp adverts. So all you do is register, submit your cv and then click on the jobs your interested in, you can search by industry, there is huge demand for admin jobs - when i was "short-listing" jobs - i could of applied for 36 admin type roles just on this one site - this was until i got my current temporary job which is kinda using my law degree...a bit.
This site also does permanent jobs aswell - many companies recruit through agencies so it would be my essential starting point.
I've been to several temp agencies to register and to be honest they weren't over-run with students, not all students rely on temp agencies !!0 -
