The Certificate in Client Service Excellence is designed to prepare you for the challenge. After the core courses and one elective, you will be equipped to deliver excellent client service and to promote and support a culture of client service excellence in your organization.
Excellent client service differentiates the excellent organization from the mediocre, the dubious, and the short-lived. This has been true almost as long as businesses have been around.
But now client expectations for service extend beyond businesses and into areas of public service. Furthermore, expectations are harder than ever to meet. An always-connected public have come to expect always-available services.
These services must be not only consistently high-quality and customized, but also fast.
In a society where social media tools have taken word-of-mouth to a whole new level, the public service and other organizations must close the perceived gap between expectations and current standards of delivery.

The University of Ottawa’s Professional Development Institute (The Institute), originally branded the Centre for Continuing Education, was established over 25 years ago to offer higher learning opportunities to private and public-sector professionals and the community at large in Ottawa.
Over the years, we developed and nurtured expertise, growing significantly in both course offerings and new specialty knowledge areas, outgrowing its original mandate.
In late 2018, our organization was rebranded as the Professional Development Institute. The previous designation no longer encapsulated the breadth and depth of current and future offerings nor did it reflect our expanded mandate and reach.
Our Mission:
The Institute has been recognized as mission critical to the University of Ottawa and at the forefront of professional development in Ottawa and beyond.
We have greatly diversified our programming, developed strategic partnerships with both government and private industry, offered event-based learning and conferences, established co-designed programs with key government sectors, and more.
The highly sought-after “Institute” designation is rarely granted by the University administration, and done so only after very careful consideration.
A rigorous approval process, involving the President, the Provost and the Vice-Presidents, must validate the rationale and justification for the use of the ‘Institute’ label.
The fact that we have been granted this distinguished designation is testimony to our organization, its accomplishments and its potential, and to the dedication and engagement of our staff and expert instructors.
Your participants will be provided a strong skill set including in-person and over the phone techniques, dealing with difficult customers, and generating return business.
Creating a customer service culture in your organization must be viewed as the cornerstone of your continued success. Some companies attempt to reinvent themselves in an effort to increase market share by adding non-traditional product lines.
This course provides guidelines and best practices for providing excellent customer service that will enable frontline associates and service staff back-up in support roles to build, maintain, and increase a loyal customer base.
This two-day course is designed around six critical elements of customer service that, when the company lives them, bring customers back to experience service that outdoes the competition.
This workshop will enable participants to recognize and demonstrate excellent customer service, create positive first impressions, and understand and meet customer needs.
