Choose with confidence
Find training that fits your experience and goals
Cleaning work covers very different surfaces, settings and risks. A foundation course and a specialist course are not interchangeable. Start with the outline, check the intended learner and choose the level that matches your current experience.
A format that suits you
Online study provides structured learning you can work through in your own time. Classroom training offers a different learning setting, with practical instruction described in each listing.
Clear course information
Each course has its own content, prerequisites and assessment details. Check those before enrolling rather than assuming every course is aimed at beginners or uses the same pass mark.

Your online learning journey
From choosing a course to reviewing what you learned
Check the course
Read the outline, intended learner, prerequisites, price and access information. Choose the course that fits your needs.
Follow the access instructions
Enrol and follow the course access information. Use the account and purchase details specified for your course.
Study and assess your knowledge
Work through the teaching before attempting the assessment. Read the instructions and review feedback where provided.
Keep your completion record
Where the course provides a certificate after passing, follow its instructions to open, print or save your completion record.
Professional development
Build knowledge and understand its limits
Supports your CPD
CPD means continuing professional development. Relevant learning can form part of your personal development record, alongside practical training, experience and reflection.
Keep the course details and any completion certificate with notes about what you learned and how it relates to your work. CCMTec® Academy does not claim CPD-body accreditation.
Knowledge is not the same as practical competence
An online assessment checks the knowledge covered by that course. It does not, by itself, establish that you can safely carry out every practical task or specialist treatment.
Continue to use site assessments, current product and equipment instructions, practical training and suitable supervision. Work within your competence and refer work where necessary.
Read the assessment requirements for your course
Question counts, pass marks and retake arrangements can differ. Follow the individual course instructions and use feedback to address gaps in understanding.
