Award for Customer Service
Professionals
OVERVIEW:
The world’s best service providers are led and staffed by individuals who have a passion for
customer service, with the skills and knowledge to match. To embed a customer centric culture
throughout the business, it is essential to raise the profile of customer service, creating a voice
for the customer that resounds throughout each business unit. It is a requirement to win the
hearts and minds of employees at all levels, convincing them, through inspirational learning
programmes, of the key role of customer service in achieving building success and meeting the
1
organisation’s aims and objectives. Learning needs to be placed firmly at the heart the
organisation’s work in creating customer centricity.
Exciting, relevant and challenging learning experiences will be provided. The courses will have a
lasting impact upon all participants. This online programme will transform service behaviours
and professionalism, taking service provision up to a higher level and exceeding the
expectations of customers.
The Award for Customer Service Professionals aims to improve the skills of anybody who serves
customers. Today’s customers expect to deal with skilled professionals, representing
organisations that meet their high expectations. Whether customers are internal (within the

similar, and this programme will enable learners to focus on improving the skills that they need
