Professional Skills Training Programs

Cleaning and Maintenance Professionals have to stay at the forefront of knowledge.  Owners and Supervisors understand the value of a properly trained team member with the credentials to show for it!  Upon successful completion of a level, students are issued credentials.

All Cleaning and Maintenance Professionals can benefit.  Most customers start with Safety and Compliance Programs such as Bloodborne Pathogens, and Hazard Communications.  This gets compliance documented and kicks off the Professional Skills Training Program on a strong foundation of safety.

Let us help take the mystery out of Carpet Cleaning, Hard Floor Care, and Cleaning Chemistry!

Mark the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 9am!  That's when we have a class at our facility in Grand Junction, Colorado.  Class Schedule and Registration here.

We can also tailor training to meet your needs.  Contact US! and let's get started building a Professional Skills Training Program for you.

Classes and descriptions are below:

 

Level 1:  Orientation
Level 1 sets the foundation with Orientation and the Basics of Cleaning, OSHA requirements, general work-safety and PPE, the role of pH in cleaning, product types,  surfaces & assets, following cleaning schedules, and meeting standards.
Core Modules	Description
Bloodborne Pathogens	Mandated by OSHA: To be provided at or before the time of first assignment. Covers the dangers associated with HIV, HBV, and HCV, and how the staff can protect themselves.
Hazard Communication GHS	Mandated by OSHA: To be provided at or before the time of initial assignment. Covers the risks of chemical products in the workplace, and methods to minimize those risks. Includes how to read, understand, and use the information contained in product SDS.
Personal Protective Equipment	The various types of PPE available, how to maintain and store re-usable PPE, how to put on and remove PPE safely, and when to rely on PPE to keep you safe.
General Safety Guidelines	Safety is a 24-7 attitude: It cannot be put on and taken off when clocking in and clocking out, it must become part of who we are.
Related Modules	Description
How Important Are You?	Don't overlook the cleaning staff; without the cleaning staff, no facility could operate for very long.
Cleaning Science	The science behind the cleaning; using scientific principles, not tradition or memory to determine options and to make sound cleaning choices is a step towards working smarter, not harder.
Cleaning Products and Applications	Product selection based on science, not on memorization through tedious repetition: Selecting the right product for the task, the first time, every time begins with an understanding of the relationship of soils and products.
Cleaning Processes and Procedures	Procedures build processes: The process of cleaning a building begins with the procedures used to clean individual surfaces.
Automated Equipment Safety	Accident prevention: Using equipment is a must in today's economy; how to use it safely.

Level 2:  Intermediate
Level 2 Intermediate training covers routine floor care & renovation for carpet, finished floors, non-finished floors, & specialty floors. This section also provides training modules for cleaning equipment use and care.
Core Modules	Description
Routine Carpet Care	Keeping carpet looking as new as possible for as long as possible is the goal of this module.
Routine Finished Floor Care	Maintain the finish, not the floor. Finish protects flooring. Correct maintenance of the floor finish helps to get the maximum life out of any flooring while keeping up appearance.
Routine Non-Finished Floor Care	Not all floors are finished: Unfinished floors have some unique maintenance requirements to keep them looking good and performing safely.
Routine Specialty Floor Care	Special care for special flooring: Specialty flooring has unique maintenance requirements and performance characteristics. Keep them at their peak performance and appearance.
Related Modules	Description
Renovating Carpeted Floors	Deep cleaning carpeting: Carpeting has unique cleaning requirements. Not only can incorrect cleaning lead to premature replacement costs, it can impact the health of building occupants.
Renovating Finished Floors	Refinishing finished floors: Few projects have a greater impact on the budget when done incorrectly. Done correctly, floor refinishing becomes more of a routine task instead of a complicated, time consuming, and expensive project.
Carpet Cleaning Equipment	Getting the most from automation: ‘Doing more with less’ begins with knowing how to make the best utilization of cleaning equipment and maintaining it correctly to minimize down time.
Hard Surface Floor Equipment	Getting the most from automation: ‘Doing more with less’ begins with knowing how to make the best utilization of cleaning equipment and maintaining it correctly to minimize down time.
