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
  • Characteristics of the service industry
  • Drivers of rapid growth in the service industry
  • Reasons or ways the industry can set you up for success

Benefits of Taking the Course:

  • Understand the fundamentals of the service industry
  • Know how the industry is categorised 
  • Understand what makes the service industry unique and what drives growth in the industry

    Certificate Example

    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 am 3/4 the way through my Legal Secretary Diploma Course, I have studied full time and it has taken me about a week (few hours per day) Very informative course which makes you memorise each module well, with worksheets at the end of each module. Gave a brilliant knowledge base into the different areas of Law and the secretaries roles within them. I have never done an online course before as thought they were not very credible, but this they are good providing you are willing to put the work in, all the information is provided for you , you just need to use it. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who has some spare time and wants to expand their legal knowledge - this course is not just for legal secretaries!!

    I passed my admin course. It was very clear, so I found it so easy to understand and take in all the information. Thank you

    I have really enjoyed doing the receptionist course online and I recommend anyone that wants to improve in whatever qualifications they wish to progress in to do it on New Skills Academy. It is very helpful and I have learnt a lot - My family members couldn’t believe how much I have progressed and they have actually said that they will probably do the courses online themselves. I will definitely finish the courses that I still have on here, and maybe do more courses in the future as I have learned a lot and I am willing to learn more as the resources you have on here are brilliant.

    Excellent course was very informative and I thoroughly enjoyed completing it. Compiled of perfect size modules – not too long or short, to the point and excellent value for money.

    Great idea to be able to print off each module to not only keep but to be able to refer to for the final exam at the end. Would highly recommend anyone who owns a pet of any type as all the information is relative all round. Great for anyone setting up a business involving pets just as much as a pet owner.

    Course run very well and easy to access.

    I love this garden design course, I have been given the opportunity to learn more about garden design and maintenance so I can start my own gardening business

    Andrew Ledwold

    I've only just started this course but already the content layout and info are spot on. I was only going to do the 1st module the evening I got it but four hours later I had almost completed four! I just couldn't put it down. I have just finished an online aromatherpy course but the massage section was vague so this complements it perfectly I would recommend to anyone. I will be using this as a business but it's also perfect for people to learn for friends and family! So glad I found it. Thank you
