​Service Excellence Training


RTO7 has partnered with Typsy to provide stakeholders in BruceGreySimcoe with absolutely free online learning tailored to meet your business needs and objectives, as well as personal goals.  
 

To keep visitors coming back and reinvesting in our businesses, we need to differentiate our region from other regions of the province, and a key way to do that is for each and every one of us to work towards making the visitor experience outstanding. To reach this goal, we have invested in a training platform that is free to you, and focuses on customer service excellence.  Once registered, you will invest less than an hour of your time at home or at the office (any time of day), to complete the required Interacting With Guests course through Typsy (click the link below for more information and to register).
 

  • Typsy – Access over a thousand bite-sized (most less than 5 minutes) videos to learn just-in-time hospitality skills and management from industry experts through the Typsy online platform. 

Typsy Tourism Employee Incentive Program
And, to make learning a little sweeter, RTO7 has added the “Typsy Tourism Employee Incentive Program” where Typsy participants (individual and businesses) can earn rewards for completing courses. Check it out HERE
