Course Information

The Cleanex Certificate in Cleaning and Hygiene Management was developed by “hands on” people who have been in the cleaning industry for many years. The certificate is essential for those already in the industry but would like to improve their skills as well as new entrants who would like to show evidence of a formal training in cleaning and hygiene.
