Why spend $4,000.00 when Amdecon can give you the same education for $495.00?

My Personal Guarantee :Image
I, Michael Tillman, Certified Safety & Health Official and founder of Amdecon; personally guarantee that if you purchase the Amdecon home-study course, watch the entire program, pass the final exam and then really do not believe I have delivered a truly first-class training program then I will refund your entire purchase amount with no questions asked. Plain and simple.

You do not have to have a PayPal account to purchase this DVD course. Just follow the buttons to pay by credit/debit card.

We hired a full time videographer to produce this DVD. It took 12 months and cost us $100,000.00 to produce the Amdecon Training DVD. There is no better.

We filmed every minute, every step, and every word of our 5-Day Crime Scene Cleanup training class, then we edited out all the bathroom breaks, lunch breaks, and off subject discussions to bring you hardcore serious bio-recovery training.

Think about this: You will take a week off work to fly half way across the country. You will get a hotel for a week. You will rent a car for a week. You will eat at restaurants for a week. You will sit in a classroom for a week.

Now what happens?

Your brain records everything exactly like a video camera does.

Amdecon Crime Scene Clean Up Training DVD

So what did we do? We videotaped everything from a student’s point-of-view.

It’s no different than being there.

Some people say, “What if I have a question, I can’t raise my hand and get an answer.”

We have trained almost 400 students through this course and all the students had the same questions every single class. Your question will be answered. All of your questions will be answered if you just take the course as we suggest. What happens if you really do come up with a question that’s never been asked before? Simple - you email us and we answer. The truth is that you won’t come up with a new unique question; we’ve been doing this a long, long time. We know what we’re doing.

Each DVD is licensed for two Exam & Certification packages. Two people are allowed to get certified off of one DVD. If your company wants to certify two people then you need to purchase one DVD. If your company wants to certify six people then you need to purchase three DVDs. Each person being certified must live and work in the same metro area. We allow two certifications off of each DVD to help those who will be starting a company with their partner. This does not allow you to certify another person in another market area. Attemped abuse of this policy will not be tolerated and will result in no certifications being issued.

For all those that are “still thinking about it”:

Peter Jones (www.999cleaners.co.uk) of the U.K purchased our training DVD June 3, 2008 and completed the training, his final exam, and was mailed his eight certificates July 17, 2008. How much longer are you going to “think about it"?

UPDATE: Peter just emailed us. He performed his first job (a decomp) August 1, 2008. That is less than 60 days from the day he ordered his training DVD!

Here’s what Peter had to say: "Hi Michael, Just wanted to say thanks. I have looked around for a while now, but this has to be the best course on the market. It was very intense, detailed and covered everything you need to know right down to how you should act with a client. If you are serious about this industry then I would highly recommend this course. If I had any questions at any time Mr. Tillman was always on the end of the telephone or promptly answered my emails. “ - Peter Jones, United Kingdom, 999 Cleaners, Ltd.

You could have already completed your training just like Peter did from half-way around the world.

What are you waiting for? Are you still going to be talking about it and thinking about it six months from now?

There are two kinds of people in this world; talkers and doers. Which one are you?

It’s just like being in the classroom; even the hands-on sections. Work a scene with us step-by-step as every movement and action is explained in detail.

Why have we produced this DVD? (for PCs only, not for televisions or MACs) It’s simple. Not everyone can afford to take a week off work, fly cross-country, rent a car, get a hotel, eat out every meal, and pay almost $2000.00 for the class. Not to mention all the green house gasses that produces.

How can we afford to sell this class so cheaply? Because so many people from all over the world are buying this course it gives us the ability to keep the price low. This is the same course we used to charge $1895.00 to attend! It’s all about the numbers; the more of these courses we sell, the less we have to charge.

This educational DVD is no different than sitting in a school classroom. In every 5-Day class we’ve held, students have had the same questions- every time. All of your questions will be answered.

This DVD includes the files to print out our textbook, which is synchronized with the training videos. When the instructor says, “Turn to page 245”, you simply turn to page 245 in the textbook that you printed out and you’re right there in school with everyone else. Why pay shipping charges to have a textbook sent to you when you can simply print one out at home?

It makes no sense to not use the technology available to us today to its fullest extent.

Let’s do the math for attending a traditional 5-Day course:
Class registration = $1995.00
OSHA Compliancy written plans = $170.00
Airfare = average of $500.00
Hotel - $60.00 per night for a week = $420.00
Eating out for a week = $175.00
The grand total for a traditional 5-Day school after taking off work (if you can) for a week is about $4,000.00!
Not everyone can afford that, or if they can afford it financially they can’t take out a week of their life to do it.

Amdecon can give you the same thing for about 87% less! Only $495.00. Why waste money!

What you don't get with this course: You don't get to pay for a round trip ticket to fly across the country. You don't get to pay for a rental car for a week. You don't get to pay for a hotel room for a week. You don't get to pay for eating out 2 or 3 times a day for a week. You don't get to ask your boss for a week off. You don’t get to take a week off work without pay. Yes, there are a lot of things you don’t get with this course, but you do get to save a lot of money!

Having the technical skills to perform proper decontamination is important, but equally as important having the knowledge to run a decontamination business successfully and stay legally compliant. This course helps you understand the science and operational details needed to make critical remediation and administrative decisions. In addition, we cover start-up information like legal structures, licenses, tax requirements, workers compensation, and other legal issues. To make sure you are well-armed to grow your business, we cover marketing, advertising, creating invoices, selecting and outfitting a vehicle, obtaining insurance, pricing, and more.

Included at no extra charge are the templates for you to create the following written plans:

  • Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Plan
  • Respiratory Protection Plan
  • Hazard Communication Plan (HAZCOM)

We don’t include the plans listed below because when faced with the related situations you will not be allowed to use your plan, you will be required adhere to the on site Competent-Person’s (OSHA terminology) plan as it requires very time consuming training to write a these plans, because LIVES depend on these plans. As an example, if someone states that you are going to be able to write a Confined Space Plan by filling out a template – run as fast as you can, because that person doesn’t realize that if you go into a Confined Space without all the required training, you might just not come out alive.

  • Confined Space Plan
  • Fall Protection Plan
  • Lockout/Tagout Plan
  • Personal Protective Equipment Plan

    This is live classroom training. You are inside the mind of a student when you take our training course. You see and hear EVERYTHING they do. This is a VERY INTERACTIVE course. This is no different than you sitting in a class half-way across the country. Everyone in our classes had the exact same questions every time; you won’t come up with a question that is not answered during this course.

    Back when we did things the old-fashioned, obsolete way, students had to take a week off work, travel across the country, rent a car, get a hotel, eat out every night, and then sit in a classroom for five days. And every time we had to send a crew to a scene during class, our students wanted to go with the crew so they could observe. That is exactly what you do when watching the hands-on portion of our training; you see and hear everything our technicians are doing while Mr. Tillman explains everything, and how and why we are doing it that way.

    You don’t have to be in a classroom setting to learn. Did you know that the University of Phoenix offers 100 online degree programs? Boston University offers online degrees, as does Central Michigan, Colorado Tech, Walden, etc. Just research “online degrees” and you will pull up hundreds of accredited, legitimate online degree plans from an Associate to a PhD.

    As another example, forty years ago the idea of a TV cooking show seemed ridiculous. People said, “You can’t teach people how to cook on TV. They have to be able to ask questions, smell things, touch things, get burned. It will never work!” But now, there are hundreds if not thousands of cooking shows available on DVD, and millions are learning how to cook without ever setting foot in a classroom.

    You will receive excellent training by a Certified Safety & Health Official. Mr. Tillman obtained this professional title through hundreds of hours of training at 1 of only 26 OSHA training centers worldwide.

    There are other crime and trauma courses available on the internet but none of them cost $100,000.00 to produce. And none of them are taught by a Certified Safety & Health Official who actually makes his living in this business.

    You do not have to have a PayPal account to purchase this DVD course. Just follow the buttons to pay by credit/debit card.

    This DVD includes Hands-On-Training. Work a scene with us. Everything we do is explained and narrated step by step. We not only show you what to do; we explain why we are doing it that way. Learn how to assess a scene, things to look for, things most people overlook. We show you and tell you what to do with bloody carpet, ceramic tile, art work, personal belongings, etc. Just how do you dispose of a blood-soaked couch? By working this scene with us step-by-step you will gain the knowledge and experience that takes some people a year to learn out in the field.

    Don’t believe people that tell you that you can’t get a good education by engaging in a DVD training program. Those are the same people that would have promised you that a cooking TV show would never work.

    What happens when you sit in a class for five days? How much of that time is actually productive? Class rarely starts on time. People make jokes. Discussions get off on tangents. Then there are bathroom breaks, coffee breaks, and lunch breaks. Students ask questions that have already been answered several times. So how much of those five days is actually productive? According to a number of different research models, within a five-day course you are actually receiving only three days of productive training.

    Why not just focus on what transpires in those critical three days? Why waste two full days of listening to bad jokes and war stories?

    I don’t know about you, but I certainly am not going to pay tuition, fly across country, get a hotel, rental car, and eat out all that time just to have two days of my time wasted.

    We have people say, “Just give me the 3 days (24 hours) that count. I want an education. I don’t want bathroom breaks and bad jokes. I can get bathroom breaks and bad jokes at home and I don’t have to pay for them.”

    OK, we listened. We have edited out the bad jokes, the off-topic discussions, and breaks. We have condensed our standard 5-day course into 24 hours of hardcore education and put it on a DVD .You get the education you want with the schedule that you have. You can take the course 30 minutes at a time or you can knock it out in a weekend. You get to do it on your schedule not someone else’s.

    If are reading this you’ve probably been thinking about getting trained in the field of Crime and Trauma Scene Clean-up for a long time but couldn’t afford the high costs or you couldn't get a week off of work.
    Well, here’s your opportunity. Don’t hesitate. Buy it now!
