About course

In the UK, nearly half of all adults show at least one characteristic of vulnerable customer, from severe financial hardship to sudden bereavement or mental health crises. Under the FCA’s Consumer Duty, treating these customers fairly is not optional good practice. It is a legal requirement. Failing to spot the signs exposes your organisation to regulatory fines, enforcement action, and serious reputational damage. 

Our CPD-accredited vulnerable customers training programme covers the full customer journey across essential modules, from first contact through to escalation, safeguarding, data protection, and organisational compliance, giving your team the knowledge to protect customers, protect your business, and stay fully compliant. 

The vulnerable customers course is designed for organisations across financial services, housing, utilities, telecoms, and the public sector. It is ideal for frontline staff, field workers, team leaders, compliance officers, and managers training customer-facing teams. 

Learners will be able to identify vulnerability, respond appropriately, record their observations, and escalate concerns through the right channels. Your organisation will hold auditable CPD evidence that satisfies FCA Consumer Duty and safeguarding inspection requirements.

This vulnerable customer training online is created by industry experts, aligned with UK standards, trusted by thousands of learners and widely recognised organisations. It is fully online, self-paced, and accessible on any device.

Each module comes with real-scenario case studies and quizzes, a final assessment, and a CPD certificate on completion. Not only that, in business training, managers receive a team dashboard to track completions, download certificates, and schedule refresher training. 

Get started today and give your team the vulnerable customers training course they need to stay compliant and protect your business.
