Why study this course

This certification verifies that the support centre manager possesses the knowledge of best and common practices necessary to successfully manage the operational and tactical components of a support organisation while strategically aligning with the needs of the business. The support centre manager is responsible for executing the operational and tactical plans of the support organisation while satisfying customer and business needs.

Support Centre Manager training explores how the support centre’s strategy drives everything the support centre does: service delivery, infrastructure implementation, operational processes, workforce management, and support centre marketing.

Designed for both new and experienced support centre managers, this course helps support centre managers satisfy operational demands and build a support centre that aligns with the organisation, adds value to the business, and delivers on its commitments.

The HDI Certification Exam is included in all HDI public training courses. The exam is undertaken separately by the student within six weeks of completing this course.
