Founded over 30 years ago by Ray and Laura Miller, The Training Bank has grown into a globally respected leader in customer experience training and leadership development. Headquartered in London, Ontario, The Training Bank works with clients across North America, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Rim to help them transform service from a soft skill into a serious business strategy.
The company’s mission is simple but powerful: Equip organizations with the training tools, leadership strategies, and internal processes they need to make customer experience a competitive advantage.
From global banks to community nonprofits, The Training Bank helps clients deliver consistent, high-quality experiences at every customer touchpoint. Their vision isn’t about trendy service scripts or one-off training sessions—it’s about creating lasting cultural change where every employee knows how to create value for the customer and the company.
At the heart of their approach is the belief that when employees are empowered, informed, and aligned, exceptional service follows—and when exceptional service becomes the norm, profits rise, turnover falls, and loyalty soars.
The Training Bank’s programs are tailored to each organization’s structure, maturity, and customer base—but the benefits are consistent and measurable across industries.
Clients who complete Training Bank programs often report increased customer lifetime value, higher retention rates, and reduced acquisition costs. Loyal customers spend more and advocate more, turning service into a direct driver of growth.
By identifying and improving “moments of truth” in the customer journey, teams learn how to create consistently excellent experiences. This reduces churn, builds trust, and increases satisfaction—even during complex interactions.
The same tools that help employees serve customers better also help them feel more empowered, respected, and successful. Many clients see a drop in frontline turnover, especially when leadership training is implemented alongside customer service training.
New hires can get up to speed faster through structured onboarding and certification programs. Instead of learning by osmosis, they learn from best practices backed by decades of fieldwork and instructional design.
For global companies, consistency is key. The Training Bank’s blended learning model—delivered through the LatitudeLearning platform—ensures that teams across geographies receive the same core content while allowing for localization where needed.
Perhaps the most underrated benefit is how managers are taught to coach, reinforce, and model the training. This ensures training doesn’t fade with time or turnover—it becomes part of the operating rhythm.
The Training Bank’s philosophy is that “everyone is in customer service.” Their programs train a wide range of learners, ensuring alignment across the entire organization.
These are the team members who directly interact with customers—via phone, in-person, email, or chat. Their performance shapes customer perception and loyalty.
Responsible for acquisition, retention, and cross-selling, these learners need to understand not just how to sell, but how to align solutions with real customer needs.
Though often behind the scenes, these employees shape the quality of the customer experience through operations, logistics, IT, and administration.
These learners play a critical role in applying training insights to real-world operations, holding teams accountable, and reinforcing customer-first behaviors.
Responsible for setting tone, vision, and resource priorities, these learners receive targeted sessions on strategy alignment and measuring customer experience ROI.
For onboarding groups, training focuses on quickly integrating new employees into the service culture and getting them confident and capable from day one.
This inclusive model ensures that everyone—from the C-suite to the stockroom—knows how they contribute to the customer experience.
Training is tailored not just to learner type but to what they actually need to do differently on the job.
Each training path is role-relevant, interactive, and grounded in real-world scenarios.
Delivering customer experience training at scale presents several unique challenges, especially for global clients.
Customer expectations differ across regions. Training must maintain consistency in core values while adapting tone, examples, and interaction styles for local norms.
The emotional nuance of customer experience training makes translation difficult. The Training Bank addresses this by offering multiple formats and language-friendly content structures.
In larger rollouts, engagement can drop if learners feel training is impersonal. The Training Bank combats this with peer discussions, local facilitators, and leadership involvement.
Training programs can fall flat if managers aren’t trained on how to coach and reinforce. The Training Bank includes specialized leadership tracks to avoid this pitfall.
Customer service training often shows its value in lagging indicators like retention or lifetime value. The Training Bank helps clients set up early feedback loops, including NPS trends and manager assessments, to gauge progress earlier.
The Training Bank’s approach aligns seamlessly with Stage 2: Knowledge Acquisition in the LatitudeLearning Training Program Roadmap.
Each course defines specific, job-relevant objectives. Learners know not just what they’ll learn, but how it connects to performance.
Role-plays, scenarios, and customer simulations allow learners to practice what they’re learning in realistic contexts—building confidence before they go live.
Learners progress through bite-sized lessons that stack—building understanding progressively. Knowledge is revisited through quizzes, action plans, and group discussions.
Leaders receive support guides, coaching questions, and meeting templates to reinforce new behaviors after each course.
Every learner completes a personalized study guide and action plan—identifying what they need to start, stop, and continue doing to enhance service.
Progress is monitored, feedback is shared, and learners who apply training successfully are publicly recognized—creating momentum.
These best practices help ensure knowledge becomes behavior—and behavior becomes performance.
The Training Bank’s operational execution is as intentional as its training design. Here’s how the system works behind the scenes:
Learners are grouped by role, region, and priority level. Clients can run broad onboarding cohorts or targeted skill-boosting workshops for specific departments.
Content is organized into skills, modules, certifications, and resource libraries. For example, “Maximizing the Customer Experience” is a flagship 8-module certification covering foundational and advanced service concepts.
Delivered via the LatitudeLearning LMS, the learner experience is intuitive, self-paced, and mobile-friendly. Videos, quizzes, checklists, and downloadable tools support active learning.
Content is reviewed quarterly for relevance. When feedback or trends shift, updates are made across modules using an agile instructional design process. Clients are notified of version changes.
Learners receive secure logins and role-based access to content. Clients can bulk enroll learners or allow self-registration based on job role and department.
Administrators assign courses by role, region, or manager group. Automated reminders and course deadlines help keep progress on track.
Dashboards allow leaders to view completions, quiz scores, and learner feedback. Managers can download reports for performance reviews and coaching sessions.
Training Bank clients often tie completion to certification bonuses, digital badges, recognition in team meetings, or advancement criteria.
The Training Bank gathers feedback after each module, as well as six-month and 12-month post-training impact reviews. This data informs tweaks, new content creation, and long-term strategy.
Outcomes are tracked through a combination of learning metrics and business KPIs:
The emphasis isn’t just on learning for its own sake—it’s learning that moves the business forward.
The Training Bank has proven that customer experience training—done right—can be a long-term profit strategy. Through thoughtful design, global scalability, and an emphasis on embedding learning into the daily rhythm of work, they help organizations do more than deliver better service. They help them build lasting relationships, reduce costs, and increase both customer and employee lifetime value.
By aligning each learner’s role with a larger mission, and each training with measurable goals, The Training Bank empowers organizations to thrive in increasingly competitive and customer-centric markets.
