With COVID making it difficult to plan onsite events for the foreseeable future, all of our training courses have been updated to be delivered online via Zoom. Whilst a few years ago online training was the last thing on our mind, the COVID pandemic has obviously forced change upon us all and being online for work, play and learning has certainly become normal for the majority of us.
After some initial reservations on how well online training would work, over time as we’ve all become accustomed to online and we’ve made a number of changes to our courses to optimise them for online delivery, we’ve genuinely become to enjoy it with online learning offering a range of benefits as we’ve outlined below.
Whilst we have become converts, most importantly, it’s what our customers think and our Customer Testimonials have confirmed that online training via Zoom is popular and effective – we averaged 4.9 out of 5 stars across all our online courses in 2021!
Rather than have to commit a full day (or multiple days) to a training course plus travel time, online courses enable you to attend courses with less downtime. For example, rather than a full day 8-hour course, it can be split into two half-day sessions of 4-hours each session. This can assist you in being able to balance learning and personal/work commitments.
Being able to break the training into smaller chunks over a longer period of time can be more beneficial than trying to cram everything into a one or two day course as well as allowing some time to embed new learnings between sessions, something that just wasn’t possible with onsite training. We’ve also been able to use online quizzes, virtual break-out rooms and short refresher breaks to ensure the online training experience remains fun and interactive.
Particularly with customer-facing roles, it can be hard to remove employees for training without having an impact on operations. Online courses allow much great scheduling flexibility so you can fit training around the quieter periods or spread the training out over a period of time enabling you to upskill employees whilst minimising operational impacts.
With the physical barrier removed from attending training courses, we’ve been able to (literally) welcome students from all around the world to our courses that otherwise would not have been able to attend. This has added significantly to the diversity of our groups bringing true global perspectives that helps share learnings and expand personal networks.
A great course that supports Call Centre managers, no matter what their experience!
Strongly encourage anyone who manages a Call Centre, or has a Call Centre in their department to sign up and take this course! You won’t regret it.
Daniel has an amazing ability to connect with people. He is very personable, and has this amazing ability to bring training content to life!
The video outlining the 5 chairs presented a succinct and excellent outline of how to respond when faced with a dilemma or difficult situation. There are aspects of the course that stood out for me, such as the enquiry confirmation. This is an aspect that I believe the team could really benefit from as in my experience it is not used enough.
The use of negative/positive words role play certainly enhanced to me and the team how easy it is to use a word or phrase that could make a difficult situation worse or better. Overall the pace and engagement with the participants was about right for me. The trainer provided some good examples and was able to convey and deliver the course content in an engaging way.
I would recommend the course to any person who deals with customers service.
I’ve participated in several courses with CX Skills now, specifically with Daniel Ord as the instructor. Daniel has a wealth of knowledge around customer experience and his history in customer service is top notch. CX Skills has become my go to for my team’s customer service and customer experience development. Look forward to next one.
I am so lucky to be able to join this training! Thank you very much for sharing the knowledge and improving my knowledge about live chat.
