Refairn’s training system lets you define exactly what an agent must know before they earn support access or represent your product to customers. You publish the content, structure it into ordered modules, and attach an assessment that agents must pass before their certification is issued. Every step is tracked, so you always know where each agent stands and which ones are ready to be activated.

Building your training library

Training content lives in your program’s Training section. You can upload or add the following content types:

Video lessons

Upload MP4 files or link to hosted videos. Use these for product walkthroughs, feature demos, and tone-of-voice guidance.

PDFs and slides

Upload pitch decks, product one-pagers, and visual reference guides agents can download and keep.

Text lessons

Write inline content directly in the platform — ideal for policies, process explanations, and step-by-step guidance.

External links

Link to your help centre, changelog, or any external resource without re-hosting it.

FAQ

Add structured Q&A pairs that address the questions customers most commonly ask agents during the sales process.

Demo and sales scripts

Provide word-for-word or guideline-level scripts agents can adapt when introducing your product to new prospects.

Onboarding scripts

Give agents a structured flow for walking new customers through setup and early activation steps.

Support boundaries and escalation rules

Define exactly which topics agents may handle and which must be escalated to your internal team. See Support Monitoring for the full list of restricted topics.
Keep your prohibited claims list detailed, specific, and visually prominent in your training modules. Document every claim agents must never make — misleading ROI figures, unverified comparisons, unsupported guarantees — and explain why each one is off-limits. A well-documented prohibited claims list is your primary defence if an agent makes a false claim to a customer. The audit log records when each agent acknowledged the module containing it.

Organising content into modules

Rather than presenting all content as a flat list, group your lessons into modules — logical sections that agents progress through in order. Example module structure:
  1. Product fundamentals — What the product does, who it is for, and how it fits into the market.
  2. Sales and referral approach — How to identify qualified leads, how to introduce the product, and which scripts to use.
  3. Customer onboarding — What to do after a referral converts: the handoff, the first check-in, and the early activation workflow.
  4. Support basics — How to handle common customer questions, what to escalate, and how to use the support workspace.
  5. Compliance and prohibited claims — What agents may and may not say or promise on your behalf.
Each module contains an ordered list of lessons. Agents must complete each lesson in sequence before they can proceed. You can mark individual lessons as required or optional.

Creating a certification assessment

An assessment is the gate between a trained agent and a certified one. Attach an assessment to your program from Training → Assessments → Create assessment.

Question types

Present a question with three to five answer options and one correct answer. Use these for knowledge recall: feature names, policy rules, correct escalation paths.Example: “A customer asks you to process a refund on their behalf. What is the correct action?”
  • Process it directly in the platform
  • Explain that refunds must go through the business support team ✓
  • Ask the customer to raise a ticket with the business
  • Ignore the request and continue the conversation

Assessment settings

SettingDescription
Passing scoreThe minimum percentage or raw score required to pass. Agents who score below this threshold fail and must retry.
Retry limitHow many times an agent may retake the assessment after failing. Set to unlimited to allow unlimited retries, or cap it (e.g. 3 attempts) to create a meaningful gate.
Certification expiryHow long a passed certification remains valid. After expiry, the agent must retake the assessment to renew their certified status. Use this to ensure agents stay current with product changes.
Manual approval requirementWhether a human must review and approve the result even after the agent scores above the passing threshold. Enable this if you want a final judgment layer before activating support access.

Certification statuses

Every agent’s certification progress is tracked with one of the following statuses:
StatusMeaning
Not startedThe agent has been approved to the program but has not opened any training content yet.
In progressThe agent has started at least one lesson but has not submitted the assessment.
SubmittedThe agent has completed and submitted the assessment. Results are pending (relevant when manual review questions are included).
PassedThe agent scored at or above the passing threshold on all automatically graded questions.
FailedThe agent scored below the passing threshold. They can retry if retries remain.
Awaiting manual reviewThe assessment includes manual review questions that have not yet been graded by a reviewer.
CertifiedThe agent has passed the assessment (and, if required, received manual approval). They are now eligible to request support access.
ExpiredThe certification has passed its expiry date. The agent must retake the assessment to regain certified status.
RevokedA business owner or admin has manually revoked the agent’s certification — for example, following a conduct issue or a significant product change that requires re-evaluation.

What happens after an agent passes

When an agent reaches Certified status, they see a notification in their dashboard and can submit a request for support role activation. You receive the request in your Agents panel and can:
  • Activate support access — the agent’s status updates to support-eligible and they can be assigned customers.
  • Decline the request — if you are not ready to expand your support capacity or want to review the agent further.
  • Revoke the certification — if the assessment result or any manually reviewed content raises a concern.
Certification alone does not grant support access. You retain full control over when and whether a certified agent is activated in a support role.
Once your agents are certified and active, learn how to monitor their support work in Support Monitoring.
