One of OREA’s brand behaviours is “Customers First.” It is a behaviour translated to actions that all OREA departments and OREA Real Estate College endeavour to adhere to at all times.
Demonstration of this brand behaviour is especially important for the Customer Service Centre, the first point of contact for members, students, and prospective students. It is the Centre’s Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) who answer queries about course enrolment, exam scheduling and re-scheduling, and assistance with My Portfolio accounts.
To ensure the level of service provided to customers is of the highest calibre, the College, through a third-party organization, conducts surveys four times per year. These ‘waves’ measure the perceived level of courtesy and helpfulness in service received, the perceived level of professionalism in service received, and overall levels of satisfaction towards customer service.
The results below reflect the perceptions of a randomly selected set of callers to the College between January 1 and March 28, 2014. The overall margin of error for this period is +/-5 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
