Working in the Service Industry Certificate

Working in the Service Industry

The service industry is wide and diverse in nature. It involves companies that do not use raw materials to manufacture physical goods. The industry plays a major role in many economies worldwide, contributing a large percentage of revenue generated. It is also a major employer across the globe.

The good news is that anyone can work in the service industry. Even without prior experience and educational background, you can work in the service industry. However, if you’d like to take up a professional career in the industry, it is recommended that you study a relevant course to kick off your career in the sector.

This course has been designed to help you learn everything you’d want to know about the service industry and working in it. It also helps understand the essence of working in the sector, even if you have a totally different career line. It covers four short modules to take you through the course.

What You Will Learn:

  • The definition of a service industry
  • Categories of the service industry
  • Projections into the service industry
  • Examples of service industries

    Anyone who has an interest in learning more about this subject matter is encouraged to take the course. There are no entry requirements to take the course.

    The course is broken down into 4 individual modules. Each module takes between 20 and 90 minutes on average to study. Although you are free to spend as much or as little time as you feel necessary on each module, simply log in and out of the course at your convenience.

    You can study the course any time you like. Simply log in and out of the web based course as often as you require. The course is compatible with all computers, tablet devices and smart phones so you can even study while on the move!

    Once you have completed all 4 modules there is a multiple choice test. The questions will be on a range of topics found within the 4 modules. The test, like the course, is online and can be taken a time and location of your choosing.

    The pass mark for the test is 70%.

    If you don’t pass the test first time you will get further opportunities to take the test again after extra study. There are no limits to the number of times you can take the test. All test retakes are included within the price of the course.

    You can either use your Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Solo cards or PayPal account to pay for the online course. Our site uses the latest SSL encryption to ensure your safety. All payments are handled securely by PayPal.

    You can begin the course immediately after your payment has been received. You will create your login details during the checkout process. We will also send you an email confirming your login details.

    We estimate that the course will take about 3 hours to complete in total, plus an additional 30 minutes for the end of course test.

    Once you have been awarded your certificate it is valid for life. The certificate does not expire or need renewing.

    I have just complete the nail technician diploma award and delivered professional manicures and nail extensions to my friends and family who are very pleased with their treatments! The course was easy to follow and fun to do!

    Quick and easy, can learn in your own time which was great. I have an 8-week old baby and managed to complete with no pressure. Everything was broken down so well and helpful videos along the way.

    Will be taking more courses with New Skills Academy, I wish I did the course years ago. I have the experience in waxing but because I gave up my college course to have my baby, I don’t have the time to go back and I was close to qualifying.

    I took this course and passed without all the hassle of going back for a year. Thank you, New Skills Academy.

    Sofia Legg

    This course is easy to read, it’s given me a new avenue to go down and very happy with all the advice I have been given.
    The modules give you the basics and knowledge required to start up on your own if you have the back bone to go and use it!
    The staff are as helpful as could possibly be.
    Thank you for this opportunity, I am very grateful and will be carrying on to the next qualification as soon as I can.
    Please note this is a real service and I really can’t believe it’s genuinely. Real big kiss to everyone who has helped me with this.

    Elisa Jay

    This is a fantastic course! I really enjoyed it. The most useful module is about working with autistic children. There are lots of tips how to deal with autistic behaviour!

    This course really helps me in my work as a support for the 4-old autistic boy in a nursery. Every day I use an imaginative role play to develop his social skills. It really works! This course also increases my knowledge about autism and other related conditions.

    Thanks to all modules I could increase my English terminology about autism as well (I am Polish). I can recommend this course to all people who are interested in autism! Thank you very much for this course.

    Monika Dudek

    The Marketing Diploma Course was laid out in such a way that it was easy to understand and work through and the modular approach meant I was able to complete the course in a way which suited me.

    The New Skills Academy website is easy to use and the user dashboard provides all the information you need to start, continue and complete your studies.

    Each module in the course was detailed and broken down into manageable chunks, with downloadable worksheets to test knowledge at the end of each module making sure you have the understanding to progress.

    Overall, an easy way to develop new skills!

    Clear and informative content, excellently delivered for students of all levels to easily undertake.

    This course gave me a great level of understanding to confidently take on even further payroll related education. It filled in the gaps where my knowledge was not so strong, which I have now confidently applied to my day to day job.

    A boost on my CV which I feel will make me more attractive to future employers. Overall excellent and highly recommended!
