Certificate of Knowledge in Customer Service
A self-paced, six-subject foundation in customer service and complaint handling, delivered entirely online. Each subject is studied at your own pace and completed with a multiple-choice assessment for an automated Certificate of Knowledge.
How the programme works
The Certificate of Knowledge in Customer Service is made up of 6 subjects. You apply for a minimum of 2, and can add more at any time — including subjects from our other programmes. Each subject is studied entirely online, at your own pace, over a 30-day study window that starts once your course fee is confirmed.

Each subject is broken into a sequence of self-paced lesson topics. Work through them in order — you mark a topic complete before the next one unlocks, so nothing is skipped.
No sit-down exams
There are no invigilated exams on this platform. Once you've completed a subject's lessons, you answer a set of multiple-choice questions online. Pass, and your Certificate of Knowledge for that subject is generated automatically — instantly, with no manual processing.
Certificates
Every subject you pass earns its own Certificate of Knowledge, complete with a unique code anyone can use to verify it on this site. Passed several subjects — from this programme or others? You can request a consolidated certificate combining them into one document, for a small additional fee.
