The train-the-trainer course is a full and complete course specifically designed for cleaning team leaders or cleaning supervisors/managers looking to develop and deliver practical internal training courses to their cleaners. The course starts by assuming no previous teaching experience and shapes the student to become a professional trainer. Having a trained trainer in-house is a highly cost effective way to deliver highly specific cleaning staff training, from just a single lesson to one person or an entire training course across the organisation.
This training is ideal for you if:
Cleaning companies wanting to train their cleaners
Facility Management companies wanting to train their cleaning staff
In-house cleaning teams (public and private sector)
Charities and Social Enterprise companies looking to train people to improve employability
Large organisations wanting to train their cleaning staff anywhere in the world

It requires the student to submit a written lesson plan with learning objectives and their own assessment criteria for the skill or topic of their choosing.
The Train-the-Trainer course teaches someone how to develop and deliver any practical or theoretical lesson, but as an extra help for new trainers we have created a companion document that provides specific and detailed guidance covering all the essential skills cleaners need to be a safe and productive team member. This guidance covers approximately 95% of all practical cleaning skills used in the workplace.
The essential skills guidance is divided into 3 parts: essential safety guidance, essential cleaning skills and essential cleaning planning skills. All three parts cover virtually all cleaning activities that fall within commercial and domestic cleaning services and general janitorial cleaning.
The essential health and safety knowledge is presented in a clear and concise form
