How does the Diagnostic Assessment work?

No pre-assessment preparation is needed!

The steps are really simple and effective, by undergoing a Diagnostic Assessment you will embark on 3 key steps:

  1. Diagnostic Assessment – You will undergo an immediate on-site diagnostic assessment with a Customer First Practitioner. This process will allow you to establish your compliance levels (service strengths) and partial compliance levels (areas for development)​

  2. Development – You will be given an in-depth report and strategic plan for developing or strengthening your service approaches. We will ensure you have the right tools to do this and provide support every step of the way.

  3.  Achieving Accreditation – Once you have actioned all development areas you will undergo an Accreditation Review to gain compliance. Once compliant, you will receive a promotional pack which includes the Putting the Customer First logo’s to add to your website and communications, helping you to raise your profile!
