Voice of the Customer as a system, not a survey

Certified VoC Practitioner (CXVOC) is a two-day ICXI-certified programme that treats Voice of the Customer as it should be treated: not a survey programme, but a continuous, multi-channel, action-oriented insight system that produces decisions, not reports. Across two days and ten sections, delegates move from VoC foundations and programme strategy into qualitative and quantitative research methods and survey design, then analysis, journey integration, closed-loop action, governance and the technology and AI shaping the next generation of VoC. The programme closes with a 48-question examination.

Design a VoC programme aligned to business outcomes, choose and run the right qualitative and quantitative methods, write surveys that produce reliable data, analyse feedback for drivers and root causes, close the loop at frontline, process and strategic level, and govern the programme so it lasts.

It treats VoC as a system rather than a survey: capture, analyse, act, monitor and govern working together. Every methodological session is paired with a workshop, and the closed-loop framework is what turns insight into change.

It is a practitioner certification that connects directly with CX Measurement & Analytics, CX Journey Mapping and CX consulting work. The CX Foundation Course is recommended beforehand, and the five-day CX Professional Diploma builds full practitioner depth.
