Hoarding Cleanup Training & Certification
The Art of Hoarder Property Cleanup™ course, developed by AMDECON, is a professional hoarder cleanup specialist training and certification course focused on safe, ethical, and effective remediation of hoarded properties.
Why Specialized Hoarder Cleanup Training Matters
If a cleanup is handled improperly, it can unintentionally worsen a hoarder’s condition. Professionals know to obtain proper certification so they don't cause additional emotional damage to the hoarder.
Hoarding cleanup is described using different terms in the industry, but regardless of wording, professional remediation requires specialized training, safety awareness, and ethical handling of sensitive situations.
You might say, "Why do I need to be trained about hoarding cleaning? I can just throw everything away." Anybody can throw away trash, but not just anybody knows how to work with a hoarder. It takes specialized training.
We do provide ongoing support to all AMDECON students after graduation as long as they maintain current certificates.
Right now there are hundreds of hoarders in your service area who need your help.
This comprehensive hoarder cleanup specialist certification course covers the psychological, environmental, safety, and business aspects of professional hoarding cleanup. Training is based on real-world field experience and structured to prepare technicians and business owners for actual hoarding remediation projects.
Attention business owners: We have two versions of this training. We have the "with business" version which includes teachings about pricing and marketing and we have the "without business" version for your employees that are "techs" only. This way they won't get the idea of quitting and becoming a competitor. Protect your business!
