Amdecon Online Crime Scene Cleanup Training Course

What is crime scene cleanup?

This type of work goes by many names as there is no officially agreed upon name for this type of work. It is known as crime scene cleanup, crime and trauma scene clean up, trauma and crime scene clean up, CTS Decon (decontamination), Biorecovery, Bio-Recovery, forensic cleaning, crime scene cleaning, crime scene clean-up, biocleaning, bio-cleaning, trauma and crime scene biological and infectious hazard clean up, biohazard abatement, biohazard mitigation and others. These terms all refer to the act of the biological cleaning at the scene of a suicide, murder/suicide, homicide, unattended death (decomp and/or human decomposition), accident, and various other situations which involved blood, body fluids, or tissue. Generally any situation that involves cleaning, removal and disinfection of a bio-hazardous substance. In the United States crime scene cleanup companies must comply with OSHA regulations.

You can start your training 5 minutes from now and be certified by this time next week! Let us help you create the future you want.

We don’t waste your time teaching you super advanced stuff you don’t need and will never use.

You don’t need a PhD in Literature to have a successful book store and you don’t need an advanced scientific education to have a successful crime and trauma scene cleaner company. Suicides, unattended deaths, and homicides are the bread and butter of the industry – there is no highly-scientific education needed to do these types of jobs. You do need a good education, but you don’t need advanced high-end scientific biological knowledge. Don’t waste your time and money learning advanced scientific knowledge you might never use. If years from now after you have built a successful crime scene cleaning company and you have employees working as crime scene cleaners then you can learn the high-degree advanced scientific stuff just for fun and to add to your knowledge. You have to start at the beginning of this journey and the best way to take that first step is to complete our crime scene cleanup course.

Why do other instructors say you need all the highly scientific knowledge – because they want you to think you need to take their course. They hope you don’t know that you may never benefit from that super-advanced knowledge, PLUS having that knowledge won’t guarantee you more income or success. It’s networking, hustling, and marketing that bring you success and a great profit.

Don’t you want to focus on what you need to know to have steady work making good money dealing with the most common jobs that occur everyday all around the world?

Once you have a successful business going you can add to your education in the future if you wish. Ongoing education is a great thing and something you should do for the rest of your life, but don’t waste time and money in the beginning learning things you don’t need to know at this point in your career. Someone who wants to become a pilot doesn’t start out by learning how to fly an Airbus A380 do they?
