Customer Service
Providing excellent customer service is key to a successful business. Delivered by our team at Educ8 Training, ISA has access to a range of additional courses to support your hair and beauty business, which will focus on improving customer satisfaction and retention to keep clients coming back for more.
Our customer service apprenticeships will help you develop exceptional customer services skills, improve knowledge of your salon’s products and services, and learn to meet client needs and increase customer loyalty and profitability.
What to expect from customer service training
Our customer service apprenticeships are ideal for salon staff looking to build confidence in their job role. If you work in a busy salon environment, an apprenticeship can provide a flexible approach to learning, helping you maintain a work life balance.
Studying an apprenticeship involves learning on the job. You will be supported by your trainer coach and attend monthly one-to-ones to discuss the progress of your course and assignments. This flexible learning means you can complete work remotely and in your own time.
Our courses include mandatory and optional units for you to specialise in areas that suit you and your future aspirations. Additional learning materials can be found on our online learning platform, Moodle, where you can access a variety of resources 24/7.
What you learn during your course
Our qualifications will teach you the principles of customer service. You will learn how to communicate effectively and build positive working relationships with both customer and employers.
Our range of units will give you the option to delve into areas you are most interested in, learn how to manage customer conflict, and resolve issues in a timely and professional manner. You will learn to communicate with customers in real-time via social media and telephone and develop skills to gather and analyse customer feedback.
You will also manage your own performance and professional development to help develop an effective customer service strategy. Businesses that invest in customer service skills will achieve a better understanding of their customer’s needs.
