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.

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 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.

The course was really easy to access, very clear and easy to read.

Packed with information about so many different topics and situations you may be in as a PA. Helped lots of Microsoft too which I didn’t know about. Very glad I did this course as I have learnt a lot of new things that I didn’t even know you could do online.

I will be looking in to starting new courses with New Skills Academy as it really was so well presented, great support if you needed it and can access it anywhere and continue at any time, thank you.

loved this course. I feel I could start my own business if I choose to but I prefer working for a company that is already established.

I found this course easy to understand and follow and found it highly useful that I could pick it up and leave it as I wished so I could fit it in around my life.
I am currently scouring the internet and papers and phoning companies in order to find myself employment with in this field of work.

I cannot thank this company enough for enabling me to fulfil a life dream of working with animals.

I've completed the course and have started to prepare myself as a mobile nail technician.

The online course was easy to understand and the videos were a good way to practice step by step.

Many thanks

Very interesting topics, I feel like I have expanded my knowledge and have more of an understanding and can use the techniques I have learnt professionally. I feel more confident in my ability!

I enjoyed the videos of the makeup application and thought the flow of the course was very well structured which made it easy to follow. It had me excited to do more and complete next stages as it was in bite size chunks.

I am very happy with the programme thoroughly enjoyed it I wish it was longer so I could learn more. Thank you for the course!

Having just completed the Dyslexia Diploma in a few days I can honestly say I now have a much better knowledge of the condition and it gave me so much detail and information to learn in order to use in my teaching job. Very clear and easy to follow with great assessments at the end of each module. Also the multiple choice exam covered all of the important points I had learnt. Highly recommend this diploma. The fact I could study this online in my own time was a huge positive. I look forward to further study more diplomas related.
