About this course

Every business or organisation will face complaints at some point, what matters is how you deal with them. When handled well, they can strengthen relationships, improve services, and protect your organisation’s reputation. This course gives you the confidence and skills to handle complaints with professionalism, empathy, and clarity.

Start by learning what counts as a complaint and why they’re such an important part of improving services. From there, we’ll guide you through simple techniques to respond with confidence, stay calm under pressure, and make sure the person raising the complaint feels listened to and respected.

The course also gives practical tips on handling tricky situations, knowing when to pass things on, and keeping clear records. We’ll even show you how to reflect on complaints afterwards so you can take away something useful every time.

By the end, you’ll have the skills to turn even the most challenging complaints into opportunities for improvement.

Why is this training important?

Compliance

Complaints are a normal part of working life, no matter what industry you’re in. If they’re not handled well, they can damage trust and seriously harm your organisation’s reputation. But when they are managed properly, complaints can actually help you build stronger relationships and spot areas for improvement – which there’s always room for!

This course is important because it shows you how to deal with complaints in a calm and professional way. You’ll learn how to stop small issues from escalating, how to demonstrate accountability, and how to show people that their concerns truly matter. By handling complaints effectively, you can increase customer or client loyalty, highlight problems before they grow, and create a more open and supportive workplace culture.

Most importantly, this training will give you the confidence to face complaints head-on, knowing that you have the tools to turn negative feedback into positive change.
