Program Overview: What is Zendesk Administration and Support Operations?
Zendesk Administration & Support Operations is a 24-hour program for support admins and CX operations teams who need Zendesk administration and support operations. Across six modules it covers admin foundations, ticket workflows, automation, knowledge bases, and reporting. It suits service and contact centre teams running a Zendesk rollout or maturity program.
Training is hands-on: every concept is taught through guided labs in a live Zendesk instance, configuring settings, building triggers and automations, and designing workflows. Participants route tickets, automate repetitive work, and build reports with instructor coaching. The instructor reviews each configuration and corrects weak admin habits before they reach production. A five-and-a-half-hour capstone closes the program, where participants configure a complete support instance end to end.
Support teams struggle with messy ticket routing, automations that misfire, and reporting nobody trusts. This program builds admin discipline: clean configuration, reliable automation, and workflows agents can follow. Admins learn shared standards, so every queue runs on the same logic.
The capstone is a complete configured instance: workflows, automations, knowledge base, and reports, defended before instructors. Your team keeps the configuration blueprint and the admin workflows.
