Frequently Asked Questions
Please email us if you have a question that is not answered here.
Q: Can a company be certified?
A: No. It’s like any other course you have ever taken. Only a person can complete the course, pass the exam and then be certified. Only humans can be certified, not a company. If you want “your company to be certified” then all your employees who will be doing the work have to each be certified. Think of it like a driver license; your company doesn’t have a driver license does it?
Q: Do you offer hands-on training?
A: Please click here for the answer.
Q: How does all this work?
A: For a step-by-step explanation please go here: HOW IT WORKS.
Q: Is there an exam fee?
A: No, our prices include your certification exam.
Q: Are textbooks included?
A: Yes, downloadable PDF textbooks are included in the courses. (Except annual refresher courses.)
Q: Do the Amdecon courses qualify for IICRC CECs?
A: Yes, all Amdecon courses qualify for IICRC Continuing Education Credits. Please see the details page of each course to learn how many CECs you can obtain by completing that particular course.
Q: How come I see an Amdecon Sittingbourne, UK when searching the internet?
A: Some carpet cleaning company in the UK decided to use our trademarked name. We took legal action and put them out of business.
Q: How come I see a website for amdeconservices when searching the internet?
A: That’s just another bozo trying to ride on the reputation of Amdecon. The owner is a dentist named Matt Howard who was going broke during lockdown because he couldn’t see patients so he decided he could get rich doing COVID disinfection (he didn’t). He has nothing to do with Amdecon. This is just another guy trying to piggy-back on Amdecon’s excellent reputation. This shows you how well Amdecon is respected in the industry – other people try to get you to think they have a connection to Amdecon, which of course, they don’t.
Q: How does Amdecon use my email address?
A: When you purchase any of our products you will automatically be subscribed to our email list. This will allow us to notify you of topics like regulatory updates, course and product updates, industry updates, notifications about your certificates expiring, and etc. You may unsubscribe at any time.

Q: How long do I have access to my course(s)?

It is your responsibility to complete your training on time. No extensions will be allowed.

Any of our courses can easily be completed in a week :)
Q: Are the exams tricky? Are they difficult on purpose?
A: No, Amdecon exams are not tricky. They are not designed to fail you. You have unlimited attempts at the exam. You can take the exams as many times as you need to pass. We are here to educate you, not fail you. Just take your time and read the question and you’ll do fine. The exams are also open book.
