Cleaning and Infection Control Practice Course

Good Cleaning Practice

The Cleaning and Infection Control Training Course

Cleaner Training Re-invented

Introduction

Combining international advice provided by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the UK NHS National Cleaning Standards, this course teaches healthcare workers and managers the fundamental principles and application of cleaning and infection control prevention in all healthcare and clinical settings.
All your tutors and course developers are all professional cleaners and cleaning consultants with many years (20+ years) of practical and professional cleaning experience in a very wide range of industries.

What You Will Get From The Course

Throughout this course students are taught to think and plan cleaning and infection control, rather than approach the tasks blindly from a set of instructions. This enables the student to take a systematic and professional approach in all aspects, and importantly, a fully integrated approach to cleaning and infection control.

Ideal For:

Individuals coming into the cleaning industry without any prior knowledge of cleaning

Individuals already in the industry wanting to retrain or expand on their training

Cleaning companies wanting to train their cleaners

Facility Management companies wanting to train their cleaning staff

In-house cleaning teams (public and private sector) within the NHS, surgeries, Hospitals, clinics, Veterinary and animal hospitals and healthcare services

Charities and Social Enterprise companies looking after vulnerable people

Large organisations wanting to train their cleaning staff anywhere in the world
