Certified VoC Practitioner
2-day ICXI-certified programme that builds complete Voice of the Customer practitioner competence, from strategy and research methods to analysis, action and governance.
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.
