Ratings from participants after completing their course, across all courses by this trainer.
Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.
Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.
That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.
You get a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quote. For a group this works out cheaper than booking everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 1250,- excl. VAT per participant.
Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.

The course is intended for anyone whose work involves dealing with customer complaints and dissatisfaction. Think of helpdesk staff, employees of housing associations and local authorities, receptionists, front-desk staff, customer service staff and people working in telephone sales or debt collection.
No, no specific prior knowledge is required. Practical experience with customer contact is useful, as it allows you to bring your own situations into the exercises with the training actor.
You learn to recognise where customer aggression comes from, how to stay calm under pressure, and how to de-escalate a conversation. You practise active listening, asking follow-up questions, summarising, setting boundaries and using your voice deliberately. You also work on dealing with personal criticism and on supporting colleagues after a difficult conversation.
Yes, on completing the course you will receive a Learnit certificate of attendance.
Yes, on both training days you work with a training actor. This allows you to act out realistic conversations and try out which approach suits you and the type of customer best.
Yes, this course can be delivered in-company for your team or organisation. The content, examples and exercises are then tailored to the day-to-day practice of your staff. Contact us for a tailored quotation.
Frustration aggression stems from emotions: fear, insecurity or the feeling of not being heard. The customer is upset and takes it out on you. Instrumental aggression is more deliberate: the customer uses anger as a means of getting something done, for example a refund or an exception. The approach differs: with frustration, acknowledgement and giving space help; with instrumental aggression, calmly setting boundaries and sticking to the facts help.
Bear in mind that the anger is almost never aimed at you personally, even if it sounds that way. The customer is reacting to a situation or an organisation, not to you as a person. Breathe calmly, listen until the whole story is out and summarise what you hear. Summarising takes the pace out of the conversation and shows that you are listening. Only then do you come back with a response or a proposal.
