What kind of training should you pass before you start working in call center. You have to know basics of psychology as well, right? you have to train on your own or the company organizes a course for you?

I always wondered what if specialist of call center once can not control himself and answers a client in a rude way??? They probably have very many funny situations with the people that call them. Can anybody share?

Call Centre jobs value personal qualities, such as politeness and phone manners, more than previous work experience or academic qualifications.

These places offer training schemes with a employer covering different useful areas for further duties such as computer skills and telephone techniques.
