Awarded by City & Guilds, this qualification is ideal if you are working (or volunteering) in a customer service role where you have some responsibility for developing the quality of the customer service delivery.
This programme is work-based; therefore you will not be required to come into college. Instead one of our work-based learning assessors will visit you in your place of work to support and assess you at regular intervals throughout your qualification.
Course materials will be provided via our online Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), meaning you can access these in your own time, at work or at home, or even on the move.
The knowledge you will gain from undertaking this qualification, alongside the practical experience you will be accumulating through employment or work experience, will enable you to do your job more effectively and boost your career prospects with customer service roles.
If you are not already employed in a customer service environment, but are interested in undertaking this programme, pleasecontact usfor an informal discussion about your options, as we may be able to help you source a customer service apprenticeship position within a suitable organisation.
