Testimonials

I run a small business that relies on excellent customer service. I felt that our telephone communication with customers was lacking professionalism as many of my staff had little phone experience. I have had glowing reviews of the training day. I have noticed a marked improvement in both answering and handling of calls. Thoroughly recommended

I sent four of my call centre staff on the communication course because I wanted to expand their role within the company. They had very little contact with non-call centre staff prior to attending the course and I wanted them to feel comfortable communicating with more senior staff whilst also, improving interactions with customers over the phone. Booking the course was very easy, the staff were helpful. The training day was a huge success from our point of view. The delegates had been a little reluctant to go on the course initially as they were unsure they would learn anything. After they commented that they were pleasantly surprised and loved the trainer’s enthusiasm and expertise. Much recommended.

How is the Course structured?

Our courses combine instructor-led teaching with hands-on exercises, reinforcing learning through practical application. This interactive approach ensures you gain both theoretical knowledge and real-world skills. Each module begins with a brief theoretical overview, followed by practical exercises designed to consolidate your understanding. Throughout the course, the instructor guides you step by step, answers questions, and provides ongoing feedback and support during the practical sessions. This structure ensures an engaging, effective, and well-rounded learning experience.

Do I need any equipment for training?

For classroom training you typically don’t need to bring any equipment, unless we specifically advise otherwise. All necessary resources will be provided at our training centre.

For virtual training you will need a computer or laptop with the full version of the software relevant to your course. We also strongly recommend using a second screen, such as a tablet or smartphone, so you can complete exercises on your main device while viewing the virtual whiteboard or trainer’s screen on the second.
