Office, Janitorial and Retail Cleaner Training Course
Cleaner Training Re-invented
Introduction
This course serves to provide a firm grounding in good cleaning and infection control practices and promotes the highest hygiene standards to cleaning staff working in offices, schools, public buildings, and general facilities. Good cleaning practices and standards comes from approaching all cleaning activities from a methodical and systematic way, rather than a haphazard and inefficient way. This course teaches the student to approach cleaning as a skill set, starting with looking and planning a clean before starting, an understanding of and choosing the appropriate cleaning techniques, the most efficient cleaning order and surveying the completed tasks to meet the required standards.

Schools, offices and shops wanting to train their cleaning teams
Individuals coming into the cleaning industry without any prior knowledge of cleaning
Individuals and cleaning teams wanting to retrain or expand on their training
Part time or fill time office and general facilities cleaners
