Customer Service Practitioner Course Content

Masterclasses

Your Brand

An opportunity for a senior manager (i.e. area/regional manager or customer relations manager) to give an inspirational masterclass about the brand and customers, with a particular focus on brand promise and the impact of exceptional service.

Technical Workshops

Induction

The first Customer Service Practitioner workshop is all about introducing learners to the programme. We complete the formal enrolment paperwork, demonstrate the online learning environment, and take learners through the programme in detail, giving an overview of each masterclass and workshops. Participants meet the Skills Coach that will be supporting them throughout the programme and will begin to develop their personal development plan.

Understanding Your Organisation

This workshop gives learners an overview of your business and its values, and the link between these and customer service. They will learn more about the business targets and goals they need to deliver against. We’ll also look at relevant company policies, procedures and legislation that impacts the business.

Your role & responsibilities

In this workshop, learners will focus on their own role and related responsibilities and explore how this impacts the wider business, customers, and other employees. Learners will also look at the importance of understanding the products and services available to customers, explore ways of keeping up to date with these and understand how this information can be used to support positive customer interactions.

Knowing Your Customers

In this workshop, learners will explore who your customers are, the difference between internal and external customers, and how to understand differing customer needs and priorities. We’ll also look at the systems, equipment and technology available to meet the needs of our different customers and understand the tools we use to monitor and measure customer service.
