NVQ in Customer Service Level 2

Who the qualification is for

This qualification is for anybody whose role is dealing with customers, whether on the telephone, face-to-face or in correspondence (letter or e-mail).  It recognises that employees assist customers in many different ways - some may just give or process customer service information, whilst others support customer service problems or work in a customer facing role. It gives people real and practical skills to help them to do their job, and benchmarks their ability, recognising their own personal qualities through the level they have attained.

The flexibility of the course allows them to:

  • Learn at their own pace
  • Decide with their employer in choice of units
  • Choose from a range of optional units that best reflects their role and their working environment

Candidates may choose at least one unit from each theme in relation to job role and duties.

The course includes assessment by the assessor at the employers’ premises. Candidates must be employed, as much of the coursework also involves assignments/assessments based around their job-role. These include a number - maybe 3 to 6 - of (unobtrusive) observation-based assessments at work and we usually work closely with line managers in the practical arrangements. Most employers are really supportive about their employees attending the training and taking part in the programme, as they recognise the value to their business of employees gaining new skills and a valuable nationally-recognised qualification.

The programme is highly flexible, and the duration of the programme is not fixed; it can depend on extra-curricular time that delegates can commit, as well as the flexibility of the employer and delegates’ self-discipline. Normally, one should allow approximately 10 - 15 weeks to complete the course.

It is very important to understand that the free course and training is provided on the basis that - from the outset - you are committed to completion of the course.
