Learning for You and Your Team

CCMA Academy courses are designed specifically for contact centre professionals

The CCMA Academy Experience

For over 30 years, you’ve been able to rely on the CCMA to support, guide and elevate your contact centre performance. The CCMA Academy is built around you giving you practical, industry-led learning that works in real contact centre environments.

The experience feels different. It’s hands-on, engaging and genuinely enjoyable, built around real scenarios, shared experiences and open conversations with peers who understand your world. You’ll be challenged and supported in equal measure, building confidence and skills you can put straight into practice. We aim to embed the learning every time.

You’ll learn from people who’ve done the job. Every course is created and delivered by experienced trainers, with CCMA-accredited facilitators bringing practical insight into the challenges you face day to day. Whether you’re building confidence, strengthening leadership or developing technical capability, you’ll gain skills you can use immediately.

Whatever your role, frontline, specialist, manager or strategic leader, there’s a programme for you. You can build ‘Being Human’ skills such as how you communicate, lead and manage people alongside ‘Being Knowledgeable’ expertise to do your job more effectively. And you can learn in a way that suits you: join virtual sessions with peers, bring training onsite, or create something bespoke for your team.

A Strategic Approach

Part of our offering is bespoke training. Through a health and diagnostic check, we ensure every learning intervention is aligned with your strategy, your culture and your goals. We ask the right questions.

  • What would success look like and how will we measure it?
  • What is currently happening that suggests there is a learning gap?
  • Is the gap related to knowledge, skills, mindset, behaviours or a combination?
  • What are your high performers doing differently?
  • What could stop the learning intervention from being a success?
  • How will the training align with your culture and values?
  • How will the learning be embedded and reinforced, post-intervention?

Once we’re equipped with the answers we need, we build a programme to make it happen. To learn more, please complete  this form and we'll be in touch.
