What our students have to say…

Give it a go!

Joan

The course was great, it gave me the confidence I needed to get out there and start my own business. The Home & Commercial Cleaning Certification is evidence of the knowledge I have gained by completing the modules.

I have been working now for over a month and I am pleased to say I am doing great. I can recommend the course to anyone starting out in the cleaning business. I have taken on board the recommendations and advice given to me by the modules.

It is great value for money. Go on, give it a go.

Joan Wood

Really friendly, easy to use program

James

We used this system to train people who use our day center. They sat the exam and those that passed received their certificates which they loved. We then published this on peoples CVs to help them find work.

It’s a really friendly, easy to use program which I would recommend.

James Marsh

Interesting & Helpful

Gillian

When starting my own cleaning business I felt I could benefit from a course that would not only help me, but provide certification to show I was competent.

I didn’t have time to attend workshops so an easy access online course was the only way to go. I found the components not only interesting but helpful and fully benefited from the tests in aid to remembering.

I would fully recommend the course to anyone seriously intending to run a cleaning business.

Gillian Parsons – Gwent

Emma

I really have enjoyed this course, it teaches you all you need to know in a clear way. Its easy to follow and gave me the confidence to pursue this as a career.

Emma Ward – London

Recommended to those who want to pursue a career in cleaning

Richard

This is a course recommended to those who want to pursue a career in cleaning.

It is very helpful for people who have never been in the cleaning industry. It gives insight on what to expect, what things to gain, and what things to look out for. It also discusses the different “branches” if you ever want to specialize in a specific cleaning business.

At first, I thought just using the hoover and cleaning toilets, but it is in fact a very practical course that covers many different topics. It is ideal for people looking to venture into a home-based business, as it covers everything from conception to running the business.

Richard Imperio – London

sharon-hart
