A 'must do' experience for anyone managing a Contact Centre

Review of Contact Centre Management Fundamentals (Private Class)

Daniel covered a range of essential topics that have fundamentally changed the way that I think about performance, and measuring performance, in my Contact Centre.

Having participated in this course with several managers from our contact centre, it has also been incredibly powerful for our team to be aligned and have a shared understanding of these concepts.

I am certain this course has prepared us to drive meaningful and valuable uplift for our teams, that will also positively impact our customers too. Thanks to Daniel for this fantastic course, and will be absolutely recommending to anyone in a similar position.

Review of June 2026 People Leadership for Call Centre Team Leaders

Daniel and Marcus were brilliant in delivering a 2-day course (4-hours each day) that is current, relevant and easily tailored to different types of Call Centre leadership roles. I’ve acquired skills that I can implement immediately in my role to help create and maintain an environment and culture where our people thrive.

Review of June 2026 Call Centre Operations for Team Leaders

I thoroughly enjoyed the Operations Management for Team Leaders training conducted by Daniel Ord. His training style is enriching and highly applicable to today’s context, making the content relevant and easy to relate to. Daniel is an engaging trainer who keeps you on your toes throughout — you certainly won’t find yourself dozing off!

What stood out most was how he opened up perspectives from multiple angles — the management view, the employee view, the customer view, and the reality on the ground.

A special mention to Marcus, who was incredibly helpful throughout the training. When we were unable to access the training materials, he promptly stepped in, which was greatly appreciated!

Very Enjoyable, Practical and Engaging!

Review of May 2026 Public Sector Foundations

This training provided valuable insights into essential customer service requirements, including understanding customer needs, effective communication techniques, and the importance of pausing and setting clear expectations. I particularly found the four-step engagement approach (Welcome, Intent, Name, Bridge) very useful, as it provides a structured and practical way to interact with customers both over the phone and at the front counter.

I enjoyed the way the training was delivered by Simon Blair. His approach was clear, engaging, and easy to follow, supported by helpful slides that reinforced key points. Simon also explained the reasoning behind each concept, which made the content more meaningful and easier to apply in the workplace.

Overall, I found this training highly valuable and would recommend it to others. It provides practical tools and techniques that can improve customer interactions and build confidence when dealing with a variety of customer situations.

Great foundation for CX skills and knowledge with a very experienced and delightful facilitator

Review of April 2026 CX Management Fundamentals course

I recently completed this course and found it incredibly valuable. Daniel was a standout—highly experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely a pleasure to listen to. His delivery was almost therapeutic at times, and he created a great environment for open discussion.

The content itself was strong and really helped me build my skills, especially in thinking about how to scale a CX practice within my organisation. The only improvement I’d suggest would be more opportunities to directly apply the theories to our own organisational contexts and receive feedback—but I understand time constraints likely made that difficult.

Overall, a great experience, and it’s definitely inspired me to consider pursuing the CCXP exam.

Review of March 2026 Customer Service Phone Essentials

I was nervous making and taking phone calls. This course has given me clear structure that I can follow not just for phone calls, but for everyday conversation. Simon personalised the content for my situation which only enhanced what I got out of the experience.

He is very knowledgeable and made the whole session fun. I feel much more confident now to be able to handle any phone call. Highly recommend this course and Simon as an instructor.

Great overview of the key metrics and considerations for managing a contact centre.

Review of October 2025 Contact Centre Management Fundamentals

The Contact Centre Management Fundamentals course offers a comprehensive and practical overview of the essential principles required to effectively manage a contact centre. Covering core metrics and operational strategies, the course is well-suited for both new and experienced managers overseeing small or large teams.

A standout feature of the course was the facilitation by Daniel, whose engaging style and inclusive approach fostered open communication and active participation among all attendees. His ability to encourage dialogue and share real-world insights made the learning experience both dynamic and relatable.

Whether you’re stepping into a contact centre leadership role or looking to refine your management approach, this course provides valuable tools and frameworks to support performance, engagement, and service excellence. Highly recommended for professionals seeking to strengthen their foundational knowledge and drive impactful results.

Engaging and structured!

Daniel has made the 4 x half days fly very quickly, even through online delivery. The course was very engaging and informative. He has made the big beast of CX management not so scary and gave practical examples of where to start. The big takeaway for me is how all the many “big” aspects tie together, and that we don’t need to know all of it to get our CX journey going. Thank you Daniel and Marcus!

Great course - Informative and Enjoyable!

Review of April 2025 Customer Service Reception PRO

Thank you Simon for a great course. I not only learnt information about the psychological ways and behaviors of customers via phone/in person but also some dating tips too! We got to do role play of scenarios to understand and practice what it’s like to handle customers in various ways which was a great way for us to interact and be a part of the course. Very informative and especially enjoyed understanding the science behind our brain and how we process our emotions and logical side. e.g. amygdala part of the brain.

Review of March 2025 Introduction to Contact Centre Management

Even though the business I am a part of really isn’t large enough to be a “contact centre” this course has given me some fantastic insight into how I can help extract some working data around customer service that will give insight into best practices moving forward as we expand.

Justin was fantastic – everything was explained so well and even I could keep up!! He was enthusiastic and it was informative and fun!!

The Training Really Works!

Review of March 2025 Customer Service Phone Essentials

I wanted to develop my customer service skills over the phone professionally, and it was a great opportunity to gain valuable structure and practical tips from Simon, who has more than 30 years of real industry experience.

I was particularly impressed by how the training course was tailored to meet my specific needs, which was extremely helpful.

After applying the skills and structure taught in the course, I’ve noticed that I sound more professional, and customers seem happier and more satisfied.

Great introduction to Journey Mapping!

Review of November 2024 Customer Journey Mapping

We have recently begun our Customer Experience journey and a huge part of this is understanding the Customer Journey. What a great course this was to introduce us to what it was all about.

We had the best trainers in Rod and Simon and the course was really well structured. Done over 2 sessions, it took us through the basics then gave us some time to piece together a map ourselves. It opened my eyes to things that I hadn’t considered were part of a customer journey before.

Overall, a fantastic course to begin with, well structured, very informative and well-paced with lots of time to ask questions and consider scenarios.

Fantastic content and practical takeaways

Review of August 2024 Introduction to Contact Centre Management

Just finished the introduction to contact centre management course, I really enjoyed it Justin was excellent as facilitator. Some fantastic content.

This course is great for a variety or people in different positions. Team leaders looking to progress would get a lot of benefit but even Contact Centre managers like me who have done the role for a while.

It provided some great insights to customer experience and how to help your team leaders to have a greater impact on their people & customers. I’m armed with quite a few practical take aways.
