Overview

Customer Services Introduction

Customer service means dealing effectively with the customers’ requirements and meeting their expectations by giving and delivering a supportive, professional and excellent service and providing help before, during and after the fulfilment of the client’s needs.

Customer service is the act of fulfilling the desires and requirements of customers. Good customer service includes the timely delivery of products, the exhibition of good manners, and the demonstration of professionalism.

This insightful unit focuses on customer services and describes their elements and classification. It also explores the different types of services and the on-going benefits of a customer-centred organisation.

The content covers various related topics such as service quality and customer service, customer satisfaction, and the effects of poor service on a business, including an in-depth look at the customer’s needs and requirements.

This useful unit explores the importance of Customer Feedback and Complaints and discusses techniques for taking care of Existing Customers.

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.
