CSQA Institute’s primary goal is to enable candidates – through the process of becoming a Certified Service Quality Associate – in developing a successful career. To do so, the CSQA© Trifecta™ framework first identified the characteristics most common among successful companies – as illustrated above. Next, CSQA Institute identified three corresponding areas of knowledge universally sought after by such companies. The three topics then became the foundational pillars of the CSQA© Trifecta™ framework.
The skills and knowledge within each pillar is then translated into the CSQA© curriculum in a manner that provides candidates with a thorough understanding of the skills and perspective involved.
The curriculum further equips candidates with the knowledge, skills, and experience required to confidently navigate the hiring process, and demonstrate to employers the value of hiring a Certified Service Quality Associate (CSQA)©.
