Overview

This 1/2 day workshop gets delegates to look at what they hate as customers when they make calls to their banks or travel agents and then be self-critical to see which of the 'hate factors' their organisation maybe guilty of. The trainer then helps them devise a scoring system to mark how well a call is handled and then makes live calls on a speaker phone to outside organisations allowing the delegates to mark the standards of how the calls are taken. This is a fully hands-on course that will improve the incoming call skills of both inexperienced and experienced staff who take incoming calls.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
