Who is it for? All front line and supervisory staff who want to deliver improved levels of service to customers. These programmes focus specifically upon developing positive relationships and continuous improvement.
The Training Is based upon City & Guilds qualifications (NVQ levels 2 and 3) and contains units which learners work through with one-to-one support from a CBE Training Consultant. Short, self-study packs are completed for each unit with knowledge and understanding being tested to Technical Certificate standard. Competence is formally assessed by observation as part of the normal working day.
A qualified and experienced Training Consultant will visit every 4-6 weeks to provide coaching and to assess competence. Each visit lasts approximately 2 hours.
