Customer Service Course
In today’s business world, customer service is just as important as both product quality and value for money. Contemporary consumers are no longer willing to deal with brands, businesses and organisations that do not deliver the elite service standards now seen as the norm. Poor customer service has the potential to inflict irreparable damage on the reputation of any brand or business. At the opposite end of the scale, superior customer service can be the most crucial element of all in building a hugely successful enterprise.
This Customer Service Course from Oxford Home Study College guides you through a series of important lessons on becoming a better customer service provider. Whether already working in such a capacity or in the process of seeking work, you’ll gain invaluable knowledge and a much deeper understanding of both customer expectations and delivery of higher standards.
Over the course of three insightful units, you will investigate the most important elements of the customer service package, crucial strategies for understanding customer expectations, the importance of impeccable communication skills and how to deal with problematic customers.
Upon completion, you will have the opportunity to apply for an accredited and recognised ABC Awards certificate to enhance your CV and employment prospects.
Course Content
This online Customer Service Training Course consists of the following three units:
Unit 1 – What is Customer Service?
