Certified Customer Service Professional (CCSP®)

Course Overview

The most successful companies have dedicated employees, produce highly desired products and services and maintain a loyal customer base. But while your employees may be the best and brightest, and your products and services the greatest, without customers, you do not exist. Period. Unlike the movie Field of Dreams, if you build it, they may NOT come. Thus, in any industry, attracting and retaining customers is the primary job of every business.

This course focuses on the skills required to consistently deliver and manage excellence in customer service. By design, it is not a step-by-step outline, but instead explores the diverse topics integral to providing effective customer service. It is designed for anyone committed to putting the customer first—from the frontline customer service representative to the leader dedicated to developing and sustaining that all-important customer- centric culture.

The CCSP designation is designed for management-level professionals, including supervisors, managers, and directors, and focuses on not only customer interactions and the foundations of service, but also other pertinent topics such as planning, coaching, teaming, and HR practices.

The CCSP examination is administered online at the convenience of the learner upon application of the same.
