Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Practical sessions allow learners to apply customer service skills in simulated cleaning scenarios. They practice communication, complaint handling, and service delivery in a controlled environment to reinforce theoretical knowledge.

Practical Activities

• Role-Play: Customer Interaction Scenarios — Learners participate in role-plays simulating common customer interactions, including greeting, addressing concerns, and handling complaints. (1h)
• Service Walk-Through: Cleaning Standards Check — Learners perform a simulated cleaning inspection and explain service standards to a 'customer', demonstrating quality assurance steps. (1h)
• Feedback and Improvement Exercise — Learners receive feedback on their role-play and walk-through, then discuss improvement strategies and re-demonstrate key skills. (1h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.
