NAHB Education’s popular "Customer Service" course — which teaches students how to manage every phase of customer interaction, from the initial contact through construction, the warranty period and beyond — is now available online .

Based on the premise that customers who are satisfied with the planning, execution and follow-up of home building and remodeling projects are more likely to recommend the contractors who do the projects to their friends and family, the online version of the six-hour course enables students to save on travel and meet course requirements on their own schedules — stopping and starting coursework at their convenience.

The online version includes content in audio and video formats, on-screen text, transcripts and other downloadable resources. Students can also participate in a discussion forum where they can pose questions, share perspectives and enhance what they’ve learned.

Graduates of this course will be able to:

• Understand customer expectations and behaviors
• Set appropriate service criteria
• Establish quality standards and communicate them
• Administer the customer service process
• Know their obligations for warranty service and fulfill them
• Enhance their repeat and referral sales
