The Custodial Technician Training and Certification program was developed more than 20 years ago and has been helping cleaning operations adopt best practices ever since. The program is designed for front-line custodians and teaches basic and advanced skills in all areas of commercial building cleaning.
The Basic program will cover all of your daily routine cleaning procedures for all sectors of the industry. From the Chemistry of Cleaning, Hard Floor Surfaces, Carpeted Floor Surfaces, Above Floor Surfaces and Restroom Care, these five modules will cover all of the basic cleaning procedures that meet today’s standards set forth by ISSA.
The Advanced program will cover all of your project-style cleaning procedures for Hard Floor Surfaces, Above Floor Surfaces and Restroom Care. These three modules will cover all of the more advanced cleaning procedures that meet today’s standards set forth by ISSA.
CMI’s Train the Trainer (TTT) course provides the tools and skills needed to implement a successful training program for your cleaning organization. This three-day program covers core principles of cleaning and best practices for supervising and implementing CMI’s training program. CMI’s TTT carries independent third-party certification that meets requirements for ISSA’s CIMS standard.
The Custodial Supervisor Certification was created due to the ever changing role of a custodial professional in today’s facilities and the need for more than just knowledge of how to clean. Today’s professional supervisor needs leadership training, communication skills, purchasing knowledge, hiring best practices and quality assurance, all of which are covered in the Supervisor program.
Finally, CMI’s Specialty Training Programs cover Carpet Care Specialist, Floor Care Specialist, Customer Service and Sustainable Schools.
Two things are consistent in the cleaning and maintenance market, constant pressure to do more with less and finding and keeping quality employees. Both can be accomplished through proper training. Training should not be viewed as an expense, but as an investment with the long term goal of reducing total costs. CMI has been helping our customers do this for over 50 years.
