Veelgestelde vragen

Is this an official retail or customer service certification?

No. When you pass the final assessment you get a PassEveryTest Certificate of Completion, which shows you finished this general skills course. It is not an accredited qualification or an employer, industry or government certification.

How does the final assessment work?

It has 35 questions drawn at random from the course question bank, with a 35-minute time limit. You need 80% to pass, and each attempt gives you a new mix of questions.

Do stores in Canada have to accept returns?

Usually not for a change of mind; most return policies are set by the store. The law can give extra rights in some cases. For example, Ontario customers can ask for a refund if a product was misrepresented, and Quebec has legal warranties on goods.

Does this course replace the accessible customer service training my employer must give?

No. In Ontario and Manitoba, employers must train their own staff on accessible customer service. This course is general background, so take your employer's training too.

Is this course for security guards?

No. It is for store staff who serve customers. It teaches you to calm situations and escalate them safely, not to enforce rules or stop shoplifters.

Is het certificaat geaccrediteerd of officieel erkend?

Nee. Het is een privé bewijs van deelname, alleen voor je kennis. Het is niet erkend, geaccrediteerd of goedgekeurd door een overheid, vergunningsinstantie, toezichthouder of onderwijsinstelling, en het vervangt geen wettelijk verplichte vergunning, certificering of opleiding.
