LinkedIn Learning is a skill development platform that helps learners and companies build in-demand skills through engaging online courses taken at each learner’s own pace. The new Customer Success Foundations certificate is geared toward both early-career CS professionals, and more senior professionals looking to refresh their best practices. This Professional Certificate covers the fundamental skills of CS, including how to build customer rapport, onboarding best practices, customer journey mapping, and how to lead customer success initiatives.
In partnering with LinkedIn to create the certificate, ChurnZero joins brands including Microsoft, Twilio, and Zendesk who have endorsed and are part of LinkedIn Learning’s library of courses and Professional Certificates.
