Advancing Customer Service on Your Campus: Train the Trainer Certification
Denver, CO | September 30, 2024 8:30 am MT - October 1, 2024 5:00 pm MT
Grow your facilitation skills so that you can lead high-impact customer service training on your campus.
Overview
Higher ed is currently experiencing extreme change. It’s easy for things to slip through the cracks during periods of transition—but customer service should not be one of those things. Ensuring that all teams are providing consistent and reliable service can be difficult, and we want to make that process easier for you.
This unique hands-on certification workshop will offer you and members of your team the chance to learn how to deliver higher education-related customer service training on your campus. You will learn essential content, including:
- Service Excellence in Higher Education: Why Now?
- Assisting Difficult Customers
- Active Listening and Facilitating Role Plays
Each of which will help to shape your service excellence culture, enhance your facilitation skills, and provide feedback on your individual progress from our nationally recognized facilitator. At the end of the 2-day workshop, take the exam to become a Certified Trainer in Customer Service.
Who should attend?
This workshop is designed for employees who will champion, lead, and facilitate customer service trainings for their campus community. Such individuals should be respected campus colleagues, possess good communication skills, and be open to feedback.
