Consider Starting Your Own Business!
Biohazard Remediation & Hoarding Cleanup is Always in Demand
You may want to take this course so you can seek employment with a crime scene cleanup company in your area. However, starting your own business may be a better option.
A crime scene cleanup business can be started with very little startup capital. You'll need some personal protective equipment (PPE), basic tools, cleaning supplies and a few other inexpensive items. Although a truck or trailer will be needed, you can start by renting a trailer for your first few jobs. This will be explained to you in our training course and I'm always available to answer your questions (ok, maybe not at 2am 😴). I hope I have the opportunity to work with you soon!!
➡️ Use the button below for our $69 a month payment plan. If you wish to pay in full, simply scroll to the middle of this page and select that option.
- You don't need an office staff or even an office!
- Most jobs are paid in full before you leave the site!
- It's one of the least expensive businesses to start
- We'll provide you with full business support
- We can create & manage your website for you
- You could be working your first job in the next 30 days!
☣️ Let's Recap!
What is Crime Scene Cleanup? 😷
The crime scene cleanup industry plays a vital role in restoring properties affected by traumatic incidents such as homicides, suicides, unattended deaths, and other biohazardous situations. This specialized field requires professionals to adhere to strict safety regulations while effectively removing blood, bodily fluids, and other hazardous materials to prevent contamination and health risks. Individuals looking to enter this industry should obtain a crime scene cleaning certification to demonstrate their expertise in biohazard remediation, decontamination techniques, and compliance with OSHA standards. Enrolling in a crime scene cleaning course provides comprehensive training on handling biohazardous waste, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and crime scene sanitization protocols. Many aspiring technicians opt for a crime scene cleanup certification online, which offers the flexibility to learn critical skills remotely while covering topics such as pathogen exposure control, trauma scene management, and legal considerations. This industry presents rewarding career opportunities for those with attention to detail, compassion, and a strong work ethic. As crime scene cleanup services are in high demand due to increasing awareness of health risks associated with biohazards, professionals with proper certification have a competitive edge in securing jobs or starting their own cleanup businesses. Whether completing an in-person or online certification, training in this field is essential for ensuring safe and efficient cleanup procedures while helping families and property owners recover from tragic events.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the business module included in our biohazard remediation bundle provides in-depth instruction in all of these areas.
Not all online training programs are created equally. However, based on student feedback, our online course is just as good as any in-person or hands-on training course you could attend. An in-person training course, with travel, food and lodging, costs upwards of $1,800. Since many students aren't able to take a week off work to attend an in-person course, or simply can't afford it, this online certification course is a great option.
No! This is not a franchise and your business is your business. You may service your city, your state or the entire country if you like.
We are not able to monitor who watches the training videos or course materials. However, only one student/employee will receive a certificate of completion. That student should be the one who takes and passes each of the tests. If more than one employee needs a certificate of completion, he/she will need to pay for the course.
We don't require you to complete OSHA training; however, OSHA does mandate certain additional training courses should be completed. OSHA requires employers to provide bloodborne pathogen training to employees (including yourself) who may be exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). This training is required annually, at the time of initial assignment, and when new tasks or procedures may increase exposure risk. Additional required training covers personal protective equipment (PPE), hazard communication and respiratory protection. All of these subject matters are covered in our OSHA training course, which is only $165. Again, we don't require you to complete this training to receive your certification but we do encourage you to complete the training at some point. Look for our OSHA Training Course on our courses page.
Through our OSHA Training Course, you'll be an OSHA 29 CFR Part 1910 compliant biohazard remediation technician. You'll also meet the requirements of Bloodborne Pathogens 29 CFR 1910.1030, Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) 29 CFR 1910.1200, Respiratory Protection 29 CFR 1910.134 & Personal Protective Equipment 29 CFR 1910.132.
It takes a couple of days to create your business (filing paperwork), a couple of days to complete our training course, and a couple of days to buy some tools, equipment and supplies. Spend a few more days posting information about your new company on social media, pay for some pay-per-click Google ads and you're in business! This time next month, you could be working your first job!!
Absolutely not! While we recommend purchasing both packages to receive the most from this training experience, you may not need the business support package.
Course certificates are created on Monday of each week and sent in digital format to your account email address. Digital certificates can be sent to insurance companies, clients and others who may want to see your credentials. Digital certificates can also be displayed on your website and in your marketing materials. If you choose to pay for the course through monthly installments, your certificates will be emailed on the Monday after receipt of the last payment.
Yes of course you may. This course is open to students worldwide. That said, we are not familiar with every rule, regulation and law in every country, region, state or city. It's up to you to determine if you will need additional training or certifications over and above what we provide through our course. Oftentimes, all you will need is to pay for a license to conduct business or apply for a permit to generate or haul biohazards. It is our experience that in most areas, our training course will provide you with all the training and resources you'll need.
Yes, if you chose to subscribe to our business support package, you may cancel it at any time. Just send us a message and we'll remove your billing information. Many students subscribe to the package for their first few months in business, just to have the added support. It's certainly not required for this training course or your business success.
The methods and procedures for remediating a crime or trauma scene is the same, regardless of the city, state or country you live in. Some city, states and countries may require you to obtain a license to practice as a crime scene cleanup technician. This licensing requirement generally requires you to complete a form and send in a small payment. Once you complete our training course, inquire with your local licensing division to see if any other requirements should be met.
Yes, you will receive immediate and full access to the entire course, even when paying monthly. However, you will not receive your certificates until such time that the course has been paid in full.
Yes, our course is designed for both industry technicians and new business owners. You do not have to start your own business if you wish to simply work for another company.
