Amdecon Hoarding House Cleanup Training Course
If you don’t know how to work with a hoarder you can actually make their condition worse.
Professionals know to obtain proper certification so they don’t cause additional emotional damage to the hoarder.
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.
Your investment in your future is only $395.00 and your downloadable text book and certification exam is included.
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 competitor. Protect your business!
We do provide on-going support to all Amdecon students after graduation as long as they maintain current certificates.
The term “hoarder property cleanup” is also known as pack-rat cleanup, gross filth property remediation, hoarder clean up, hoarding cleaner, hoarders cleaning, etc.
