Course Description
Many businesses have embraced remote work as the new de facto normal for office-related tasks. However, many roles, such as administration and customer support have new dynamics and challenges when it comes to doing business remotely.
This course covers the essential factors of remote administration and client support, including how to effectively schedule and conduct remote meetings, to ensure that regardless of the distance and media used, customers and clients can effectively share their thoughts and feel heard. Additionally, this programme will explore making effective use of cloud platforms for ease of access and sharing between colleagues and clients.
In addition to service and soft skills (communication, discernment, problem solving, etc.), this course will also familiarise learners with various communications platforms they are likely to use during their career. This introduction will include configuration and troubleshooting guidance, so that associates can feel comfortable providing support to clients and peers on how to fix common issues that appear when using remote-communication platforms.
Successful graduates will attain a ReTrain Certification (RTC) in Virtual Assistant and Client Support, demonstrating their ability to use cloud and communication software to administer business remotely, no matter their physical location.
