Written online training · CCMTec™ Academy
Choose from five courses covering professional carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, basic stain removal, advanced stain removal and advanced carpet-cleaning knowledge. Find a starting point that matches your experience and the work you want to develop.
Training that matches your next step
A carpet-cleaning course, an upholstery course and a stain-removal course answer different needs. This page brings the five options together so you can compare their purpose before choosing, rather than treating every course as the same training at a different price.
New to the work? Review the foundation courses first. Already cleaning professionally? Look for the gaps you want to address, such as fabric testing, spotting chemistry or the causes of recurring problems. Advanced courses assume experience; they are not a shortcut around practical preparation.
These are written online courses. The study builds knowledge and professional judgement, but does not replace equipment instruction, supervised practice or task-specific competence checks. Video demonstrations and classroom attendance are not included simply because a course is described as online.
The online course range
Each course is purchased separately. Prices below reflect the individual course pages checked for this overview. Open the course page for the full outline, access information and current purchase details.
For new starters, cleaners adding carpet work and self-taught operators who want a structured knowledge foundation.
Nine teaching modules cover soil, fibre identification, construction, chemistry, safety, equipment, the cleaning process, stain treatment and customer service.
Learn to connect the material and site checks to the cleaning decision, then explain the expected result, price and aftercare to your customer.
For people developing upholstery-cleaning knowledge, including carpet cleaners adding fabric furniture to their services.
Explore fabric identification, upholstery construction, cleaning chemistry, safety, equipment, cleaning methods, stain treatment and customer communication.
Use the course outline to understand why sofa and chair cleaning needs its own material checks, rather than assuming a carpet-cleaning method transfers unchanged.
A narrower introduction for learners who want to explore stain types, spotting tools and products, introductory treatment techniques and common household stains.
The four-module outline concentrates on spotting knowledge. It is not a substitute for the wider fibre, construction, equipment and safety study in a full cleaning course.
Review this option if you want an introductory stain-removal subject alongside your existing learning.
For learners with existing carpet or upholstery cleaning experience who want deeper study of stain chemistry and treatment decisions.
Explore fibre vulnerability, dye systems, spotting chemistry, treatment sequencing, protein and tannin stains, oils, inks, dye transfer, urine-related contamination and upholstery-specific risks.
The course also covers assessment, documentation, pricing and customer expectations. It does not promise that every stain or damaged area can be restored.
This course is designed for working carpet cleaners with at least 12 months of active field experience. It assumes knowledge of cleaning methods, equipment, chemicals and safe working. It is not an introductory course.
Sixteen modules examine fibre science, construction and backing, contamination, pH and enzymes, wicking, browning, dyes, specialist rugs, stain decisions, moisture and drying, equipment, commercial work, complaints and professional judgement.
Choose this route to explore why an established method works, what can cause it to fail and how a change in site conditions should affect your decision. Specialist subjects still require appropriate practical competence and clear working limits.
Choose by experience and purpose
You do not need to buy all five courses or follow a compulsory sequence. Choose the subject that fits your current experience, then use the other courses where they address a genuine learning need.
The Professional Carpet Cleaning course covers the material, chemistry, equipment and process decisions behind a job. Basic Stain Removal can provide additional introductory spotting study, but does not replace that wider foundation.
Review the Professional Upholstery Cleaning course for fabric identification, construction and treatment choices. Experience with carpets does not remove the need to understand the risks associated with upholstery materials.
Advanced Stain Removal focuses on spotting chemistry and stain-treatment decisions. The Advanced Carpet Cleaning Masterclass has a wider technical scope and requires at least 12 months of active carpet-cleaning experience.
Knowledge that affects the job
The course range addresses more than how to operate a machine. Different courses develop different parts of the thinking behind a cleaning job. Check the individual outline rather than assuming every topic is taught at the same depth.
Foundation study introduces fibres, construction and testing. The advanced routes examine deeper material and dye-related questions that can change a treatment decision.
Explore why products and methods need to match the material and contamination. The stain-removal courses have a narrower spotting focus than the general cleaning courses.
Customer expectations, remaining staining, drying and treatment limits matter as much as the visible cleaning result. Further treatment is not automatically the right response to every mark.
Understand the learning format
Study the written material at your own pace. All five courses include a CCMTec™ Academy certificate. Review your chosen course page for its access arrangements, what the purchase includes and the requirements for completing the course and receiving your certificate.
Follow that course’s instructions and pass requirements. A knowledge assessment is not observation of your practical work. A certificate issued after passing records course completion and its assessment result, not competence for every job.
Relevant study and completion records may form part of your CPD portfolio alongside practical learning and experience. CCMTec™ Academy does not claim accreditation by an external CPD body or that these courses are regulated qualifications.
Classroom carpet and upholstery cleaning is a separate option, not included in these online course prices. Explore the classroom overview to compare the one-day and two-day formats.
Before you enrol
Review Professional Carpet Cleaning for a structured foundation. The Advanced Carpet Cleaning Masterclass is not for beginners: it requires at least 12 months of active field experience and assumes existing working knowledge.
Yes. Professional Upholstery Cleaning covers fabric identification, construction, chemistry, methods, equipment, stain treatment and customer communication. It is separate from the carpet-cleaning course.
Basic Stain Removal is an introductory four-module subject covering stain types, tools, products, techniques and common stains. Advanced Stain Removal is written for learners with existing carpet or upholstery cleaning experience and goes further into chemistry, materials, sequencing and specialist treatment decisions.
The advanced stain-removal page specifies existing carpet or upholstery cleaning experience, not compulsory purchase of a particular foundation course. If you are new to cleaning work, start by reviewing the foundation training rather than moving straight into the advanced subject.
It is intended for carpet-cleaning professionals with at least 12 months of active field experience. It assumes working knowledge of methods, equipment, chemicals and safety, then develops the technical reasoning behind more demanding decisions.
These are written online courses. Do not assume videos or hands-on sessions are included. Classroom training is offered separately and has its own listings and prices.
Yes. All five courses include a CCMTec™ Academy certificate. Follow the completion requirements for your chosen course. The certificate records course completion; it is not an externally accredited qualification or proof of practical competence for every cleaning task.
No. A course certificate records the learning and assessment it describes. You still need appropriate practical preparation, site and material checks, suitable equipment knowledge and the competence required for the work you accept.
The course pages checked for this overview list Professional Carpet Cleaning at £95, Professional Upholstery Cleaning at £95, Basic Stain Removal at £25, Advanced Stain Removal at £95 and the Advanced Carpet Cleaning Masterclass at £175. Each is a separate purchase. Confirm the current price on the course page before enrolling.
The foundation courses are relevant to people preparing to offer carpet or upholstery cleaning. Technical study is one part of that preparation, not a guarantee of earnings or a replacement for practical training and the other arrangements needed to operate a business.
