Customer Service and Support

$19

Customer Support used to mean just face to face or phone conversations. With technology today, this has fundamentally changed and includes a host of online solutions from websites, FAQ’s, web chat, phone apps and even chatbots. The customer experience has shifted online and begun long before a purchase is made. Our Customer Support course looks at the new opportunities in customer support available online and how to take advantage of them.

WHO'S IT FOR?

WHO'S IT FOR?

Prior knowledge

There’s no real prior knowledge required but you should have a good grasp of English. As you develop your career, there will be a constant requirement to not only refresh and update existing technical learning but also to develop new skills and ways of thinking and behaving.

Technical Skills

Whether you’re in production, distribution, sales, finance, human resources or management your technical skills will always need to keep up with the latest developments in technology and change. The learning for this will generally come from your peers, industry trends and specialised training.

New skills

However, as you move up in seniority through an organisation or become and entrepreneur, you will be faced with learning a much wider array of skills. You will need to learn how to be a generalist but with the ability to look at the whole of a business and how it all interlocks.

People Skills

Most importantly, you will need to master your own behaviours and character and emotional intelligence in order to influence, inspire and bring people along with your vision.

Your career, personal and professional development should never stop, whether you are learning because of a company or professional body requirement or whether you are just wanting to grow.
