Overview
The Field Service Manager program is dynamic and interactive, with students frequently working in small groups, presenting findings and working on the course case study. The program is four and a half days of course content and university-level instruction and learning that is focused on managing a field service operation.
Field service managers must be able to manage in an environment of highly skilled, technical people. The manager must be able to lead, coach and facilitate the activities of these people towards accomplishing the field services mission and have excellent insight into the demands of customers, subordinates and the service business.

Instructors practical experience is appreciated. Tools (excel sheets) on CD will be very useful. Some of the videos shown are inspiring! (orchestra leader)
Maybe too much homework each night. Fast-paced but very interesting. Knowledge of the instructor is excellent.
Excellent support material. Excellent instructor.
I do support the course setup as it is. It is still a lot of knowledge presented within a short period of time.
Extremely impressed with Steve’s knowledge and training style, also with non native English speaking students. Thanks Steve. The course was very well presented. All points were explained extremely well backed up by good examples. Little bit too much homework.
A really enjoyable course, and excellently presented
Great training we should follow earlier in career. Lot to absorb in few days. Will need homework once back to regular life. A refresh session “web based” could help. I would accept to receive once a year (or twice) an exercise to do on a specific case.
Really enjoyed the course! More time would have been nice…
Great training. Trainer is perfect in explaining and making sure that everyone understands.
The majority of the modules are standard working practise and I understood them in full. However I strongly feel that there should have been more time to get prepared for the final exam.
I have found this course extremely beneficial and thought provoking. It has highlighted other ways I can present back to the business my ideas in a different way. It has made me very interested in more formal management training.
Absolutely excellent instructor!
Very much enjoyed the course. very well organised. Hotel is an excellent location. One evening off would be nice!!
It would be good to have more time on each subject. I know cost is an issue. Thank you. Best regards, C. Sherrington
* Overall good class. * Good to define the expected level of pre-knowledge / or the check.
Speed of handling some topics could be higher. Perhaps a regular check with the students might help to see if speed can be increased or not, more so since some course material was quite basic such as histograms and their use.
Update material to latest/greatest in service industry. Update video material. Get more interaction […] around the class modules
Steve is an excellentinstructor and managed to put across potentially difficult material in a way that is easily related to. There is a huge amount of material to be covered and maybe it is squeezed in a bit too tight. The course should absolutely […]
A lot to learn, very intense course tough very useful.
Could have been a 2 week course, going even more in depth. Thanks 🙂
