Customer and Operations Foundations
Prepare for a first job in customer support or operations. Work through three real workdays and earn a credential with your graded work attached.
Each module has short lessons with a check question, then a graded simulation. About 3 hours in total, at your own pace.
- Module 1: Answer the queue without over-promising
Six customers wrote in overnight after a bad delivery day. Sort the queue, apply the credit policy, reply honestly to an angry customer and escalate a food safety report with the facts.
- Module 2: The Monday order and the empty shift
Work out the week's supplier order from the records and the rules, cover a barista shift without breaking the hours limit, then send the order and fix the rota so the week runs from the records.
- Module 3: Qualify the leads before Friday's pipeline call
Eight inbound leads, three meeting slots and a pipeline call on Friday. Decide who fits by the rules and the registry, write one honest first email, and leave the records in a state the team can run from.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Skill Path?
A Skill Path is a short course built around real work. Each module has two or three short lessons, then a simulation where you do the job in a fictional company. Your work in each simulation is graded against a rubric.
How long does a Skill Path take?
Most Skill Paths take three to five hours in total. You can stop at any point and pick up where you left off. There are no deadlines.
What do I get when I finish?
When every simulation in the path is complete and graded, you earn a FinderK credential. It lists the work you did and the skills it shows. You can keep it private or share a link to it, for example on LinkedIn.
How much does a Skill Path cost?
Some Skill Paths are included with FinderK Plus, which has a free trial. Others are sold once at a fixed price and stay yours. You can read the first module's lessons for free before you decide.
Do I need experience?
No. Each path states its level. Beginner paths assume no previous experience in the role, and the lessons explain the ideas you need before each simulation.
