What is the Customer Service Specialist Apprenticeship?
Typically, this level 3 apprenticeship will take 15 months.
The main purpose of a Customer Service specialist is to be a ‘professional’ for direct customer support within all sectors and organisation types.

You will also gather and analyse data and customer information that influences change and improvements in service.

This could be in many types of environment for example, contact centres, retail, webchat, service industry or any customer service point.
