Prefer a Private or Onsite Training Option?
While many businesses prefer the benefits of a public course like this one – offering diverse perspectives and shared learning experiences – we also provide private training options for larger teams or organisations with specific needs.
• Private Online Training – A flexible and cost-effective option that allows your team to receive live, expert-led training from anywhere, with content customised to align with your company’s products, services, and support processes.
• Private Onsite Training – If your team prefers face-to-face learning, we can deliver the training at your location, providing a fully immersive and tailored experience.
Private sessions allow you to choose the schedule, tailor content, and focus on specific challenges unique to your business.
While onsite training includes additional costs (to cover travel, time, and logistics), both options ensure your employees receive high-impact training aligned with real-world customer service and technical support scenarios.
