The Amdecon® BioRecovery Training DVD Program
The Amdecon® CTS Decon Crime and Trauma Scene BioRecovery Training DVD Program is approved for 2 CECs (continuing education credits) by the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification).
The IICRC is the certifying body for the inspection, cleaning and restoration industry, representing certified firms and technicians world-wide.
Have you seen the movie Sunshine Cleaning?
Do you want to start your own crime scene clean-up company?
Do you have an existing restoration business and want to add on biocleaning services?
Do you just want to make some extra money working part time from home?
If that is the case you have three options:
One: You can just start out blindly and figure things out as you go.
Two: If you can find one, go to a brick and mortar training center. This will require you to
take a week out of your life, travel cross country, get a hotel, rent
a car, and eat out for a week. This will cost you about $4,000.00 when you’re done. Also, in all probability you will be trained by someone who simply made up some fancy sounding title
such as an ACBTI or CTS Bio-Recovery Instructor. What do the titles of ACBTI or CTS Bio-Recovery Instructor mean and where did they get them? They were just made up and they gave them to themselves. You will also get the hard sale about joining an association (which was formed by these same guys) which will of course have membership dues.
Here's the worst part:
29 CFR Part 1910.134 (k) (the Respiratory Protection Standard) states: “Retraining shall be administered annually, and when the following situations occur...”
29 CFR Part 1910.1030 (g)(2) (the Bloodborne Pathogen Standard aka BBP) requires you to
be trained “at least annually.”
Do you really want to spend $4,000.00 a year going back to them to get your annual training? How come these people don’t tell you that part?
Here's the best way to do it:
Option Three: You can learn from your home or office computer. Your instructor will be a Certified Safety & Health Official who was trained at one of only 26 OSHA Education Centers in the United States and founded Amdecon way back in 1999. The cost for this course is only $295.00 and you can take it at your convenience when it fits your schedule. This DVD is
yours to keep forever. You will always have it on hand, when it comes time for your annual
re-training or you just want to go back and review something. Also you will never be pressured into thinking you have to join some association to be successful in this industry.
Which way makes more sense to you?

This course meets the requirements set forth by the United States Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Heath Administration (OSHA) and supersedes any requirements by any other organizations.
This course has been completed by students from Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Greece, and of course, the United States. That's 10 countries! No other instructor in the CTS Decon industry has ever taught students in 10 different countries.
Read what Ken from Regina, Canada had to say:
"Michael,
After several years in the fire/flood restoration business, working for a company that, from time to time, sent me to clean up crime and trauma scenes, I felt I had a acquired a reasonable amount of knowledge about what this line of work entailed. It was only after taking your course that I became aware that we had been working in a manner which was unsafe, highly irresponsible and, quite frankly, illegal. When I cross reference the American safety regulations taught in your course with Canadian laws and regulations, I see that the two are virtually identical. The legal component of your course was surprisingly applicable to me. Your detailed and thorough course gave me the knowledge required to systematically, methodically, and safely decontaminate a crime and trauma scene in an efficient and responsible manner. Many thanks for the excellent education. Ken, Regina, Canada"
I received my CSHO (Certified Safety & Health Official) at OSHA's Southwest Education Center, Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), a member of The Texas A&M University System and one of only 26 OSHA Education Centers in the US. I am also a member of the American Biological Safety Association. Learn more about my credentials by clicking here.
In this crime scene clean up class you can be trained and certified and have actual hands-on training where you gain real experience working with blood, maggots and the stench of death. Get sweaty! Get smelly! Get experience!
Whether you want to do this as a full time job, part time to supplement your income, or as an add-on to an existing business, this training program will help you launch your new career with a solid foundation.
You might say, "How can I get real hands-on training with a DVD program?”
It’s simple. I will teach you how to create your own mini training center at your home or office.
You will know what it’s like to be suited up and sweating while you work a scene covered in blood and stench. In addition to the 5 hours of step-by-step-how-to-work-a-scene videos, I will teach you how to set up your own staged crime scene with all the visuals, blood, gore and stench you will ever need.
Mr. Bill Flynn, the founder of Complete Scene Intervention is a student of this course. Here's what he had to say:
"Dear Michael;
I just wanted to let you know I was truly impressed with your knowledge and training style. I now have 4 certified technicians including myself and two more going through the training program now. The classroom training is very informative and well structured. The hands on part of the training was very beneficial as on our first job we had a sofa to dispose of. My technicians were well equipped to break down the sofa and carefully dispose of it properly thanks to your detailed training.
Following your plan has proven to be very beneficial and lucrative for our company. Within a week of startup we had our first job, a suicide. It was a referral from one of our local police departments.
The products you offer such as the Amdezyme™ and the Ozone/Oxygen system are terrific. We used the Amdezyme™ on a suicide that had happened 3 days before we were called. It definitely made the difference as it worked hard at breaking down the dried blood and matter. I couldn’t imagine working a job without it. We used the Ozone/Oxygen system on a rental house with stagnate odor. The landlord was so impressed. We also used it on a company car that had had belonged to a heavy smoker. The new driver couldn’t even tell anyone ever smoked in the car.
Your website package is first class. It is very informative, organized, well presented and we were even able to add a visual map of our coverage area. Very professional compared to some other sites I’ve seen. Your contract package was well worth the investment. With the stroke of a pen we were able to make it legal for our state. They are easy to read and understand for our clients.
I look forward to making you proud we represent the AMDECON name.
Sincerely, Bill Flynn President/CTS Decon Technician"

So how did this crime scene clean up certification course develop? Let’s start at the beginning...
This industry is commonly called several different things, such as CTS Decon, crime scene cleanup, crime scene clean-up, crime scene clean up, biorecovery, CTS Biorecovery,
Bio-Recovery, crime and trauma scene cleaning and decontamination, biohazard abatement,
and a few others.
My favorite of course is CTS Decon because I coined that phrase back in 2003-2004. It’s my favorite because I feel it represents what we do the best. We do a lot more than just clean (we disinfect) and the word biorecovery is usually associated with soil remediation in the environmental industry. The letters CTS stand for Crime and Trauma Scene and Decon stands for decontamination, thus CTS Decon.
The phrase trauma scene is included because most of the work we do is not a not crime scene.
We do find critical evidence quite often and one of the many areas covered in this training course is about what to do when you find it.

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, United Kingdom
I founded Amdecon in 1999 with basically nothing, no knowledge, no training, and no experience. All I had was an idea and an extra $40.00. Fortunately I lived in an area where there was an OSHA Education Center, 1 of only 26 in the United States. This allowed me to attend OSHA classes taught by OSHA instructors. I was able to combine what I was learning at the OSHA Education Center with what I was learning out in the field and with my day to day business activities. I made a lot of mistakes along the way and learned a lot of things the hard way. I estimate I’ve spent a half million dollars on things that didn’t work. (You don’t have to make those same mistakes. Don't reinvent the wheel!)
Fast forward a couple of years...
Over the years we had people calling asking us how they could get in this business; they wanted to be crime scene cleaners. They wanted to know how to start a crime scene clean up business or how to become a crime scene cleaning technician. I didn’t know what to tell them because in my opinion there really weren’t any quality training resources specific to this industry. The only training available at the time was just a couple of three-day courses held in hotel conference rooms and I didn’t think the people teaching these courses were qualified instructors.
I attended one of these classes where the “instructor” taught the students that an SCBA
(Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) was a “scuba” tank. Well, that’s a BIG mistake. An SCBA and a scuba tank are two entirely different things used for two entirely different purposes.
An SCBA is what a firefighter uses when going into a burning building; a scuba is what one uses when you go underwater diving. Since he made this huge mistake I had to really question the validity of everything else he was saying. This person should not have been teaching anyone about respiratory protection until he received proper training about respiratory protection himself. Respiratory protection is about protecting your health.
Very poor training...
To the left is a photo of another “instructor” teaching students to rub absorbent into blood and body fluids with their hands. Your hands could be punctured by needles, metal shavings, broken glass or any other type of hidden sharp object doing this. His reasoning was that it was OK because he was wearing puncture-resistant gloves. No glove is puncture-proof. In the world of safety professionals, the first thing you learn is that your number one priority is to eliminate any risk you can.
According to the “Hierarchy of Controls” you always eliminate any and all risk whenever possible. What you see in this photo is a very unsafe practice. You can eliminate all risk of getting stuck by a sharp by using a throw-away brush from the dollar store. Why would anyone teach you to use your hands to rub absorbent into the ground when you can be much safer by spending $1.00 and using a brush? This is what happens when people just wake up one day and decide to start calling themselves an “instructor.”
Read what the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) and NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) say about Hierarchy of Controls:
"Hierarchy of Controls
Controlling exposures to occupational hazards is the fundamental method of protecting workers. Traditionally, a hierarchy of controls has been used as a means of determining how to implement feasible and effective controls. One representation of this hierarchy can be summarized as follows:
- Elimination
- Substitution
- Engineering controls
- Administrative controls
- Personal protective equipment
The idea behind this hierarchy is that the control methods at the top of the list are potentially more effective and protective than those at the bottom. Following the hierarchy normally leads to the implementation of inherently safer systems, ones where the risk of illness or injury has been substantially reduced.
Elimination and substitution, while most effective at reducing hazards, also tend to be the most difficult to implement in an existing process. If the process is still at the design or development stage, elimination and substitution of hazards may be inexpensive and simple to implement. For an existing process, major changes in equipment and procedures may be required to eliminate or substitute for a hazard.
Administrative controls and personal protective equipment are frequently used with existing processes where hazards are not particularly well controlled. Administrative controls and personal protective equipment programs may be relatively inexpensive to establish but, over the long term, can be very costly to sustain. These methods for protecting workers have also proven to be less effective than other measures, requiring significant effort by the affected workers.
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection. The initial cost of engineering controls can be higher than the cost of administrative controls or personal protective equipment, but over the longer term, operating costs are frequently lower, and in some instances, can provide a cost savings in other areas of the process."
What I saw was that some guys just decided one day they were “instructors.”
Please understand I am not judging these guys as people. I am judging these guys as “instructors.” They were teaching people to do things in ways that was going to put their life and health at risk. They had no business teaching any safety-related issues until they were properly trained themselves. OSHA has 26 Education Centers for a reason.
These were the types of problems I saw with the “training” that was available at the time.
In early 2004 I decided to open a CTS Decon Bio-Recovery training center. By then I had gained a lot of experience in the field and in day-to-day business operations and had spent a lot of time at an OSHA Education Center being trained by OSHA instructors.
I held my first 5-Day training course in August 2004. We had people from all over the United States attend. It was very successful and I continued to hold 5-Day training courses. I had students come from across the United States, and from Canada, the UK, and Australia.
What made this course so unique was 1) I was actually a certified instructor who was certified at an OSHA Education Center and 2) I had hands-on modules where students would suit up and work scenes we had created using real (animal) blood and tissues on furniture, carpet, walls, textured ceilings, etc. This created a real-world scenario. These hands-on modules have now become the standard for traditional classroom training.
We still had people calling saying they really wanted to get into this business but unfortunately for various reasons couldn’t. They either couldn’t afford the air fare, hotel, rental car, eating out every night, and the class tuition or they just could not take the time out of their current work situation to attend.
I thought there had to be a better way to do this. We had all sorts of new technologies that were not available previously so there had to be a better way. A way that no matter what a person’s personal, work, or financial situation was, they would be able to get quality training at an affordable price anywhere in the world. All they needed was a computer.
When I stood back and distanced myself from the old way of thinking and took a good honest look at the traditional classroom type situation, I had to ask myself: What happens when you sit in a class for five days? How much of that time is actually productive? What I mean is that class rarely starts on time, people make jokes, discussions get off on tangents, etc. Then there are bathroom breaks, coffee breaks, and lunch breaks. Students ask questions that have already been answered several times; instructors get off into war stories, and so on and so on.
And what about all the travel? How much time do you spend just getting from where you live to where the class is held? A flight from Sydney, Australia to Dallas, Texas takes about 17 hours; and that’s just one way!
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, which is 24 hours. The amount of training you actually receive during a
3-day course is even much less!
The question that kept popping up in my mind was this: 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 and taking lunch and bathroom breaks?
So I decided to go digital...
I hired a full-time videographer to produce this training course. We filmed every minute, every step, and every word of these five-day classes, and then we edited out all the bathroom breaks, lunch breaks, off-subject discussions, jokes, and war stories. We spent a year editing this and the whole project cost me about $100,000.00 to complete.
What it boils down to is 25 hours of hardcore, serious bio-recovery training.
Some people might say, "What if I have a question? I can't raise my hand and get an answer."
I have trained hundreds of 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 I suggest. What happens if you really do come up with a question that's never been asked before? Simple - you email or call me and we’ll discuss it.
I cover everything from how this industry was formed and the types of jobs we do, to the OSHA regulations that apply to us. I teach these OSHA regulations to you in plain language so you know why they apply to us and how you can be fully OSHA-compliant. I go over what types of Personal Protective Equipment we use and how we use it, and what other equipment, cleaning supplies, deodorization techniques, and disinfectants we use. I discuss dealing with insurance adjustors, dealing with grieving families, and how to estimate jobs, and market and network. We talk about performing the work, getting paid, and how to work a scene from beginning to end.

“Hi Michael,
We wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how much we appreciate your training course. It was wonderful to learn at our own pace, watching the DVD at home. You did an excellent job teaching the material and as we studied for the test it was a blessing to go back and review some of the topics on the Amdecon DVD. It really helped us to prepare for the test. I am sure that we will continue to use the Amdecon training DVD to help us grow "our specialty cleaning service."
We remember learning about Amdecon a few years back and thinking about how we wanted to take your course and were unable to travel to Texas due to our janitorial business. We never thought it would be possible to take your training course. You will never know how much we appreciate the convenience of Amdecon’s training course, not to mention the economical value and the knowledge gained."
Thanks again,

"Good teaching is good teaching, no matter how it's done."
Have you been dragging your feet because you are not sure if this business is for you? Don't let that hold you back. For only $295.00 you can gain 25 hours of education about the crime scene clean up business. Then if you decide this industry isn't for you, you've only spent $295.00 instead of the thousands you would have spent for a traditional classroom setting. I don’t know of a better place to get any better training, especially for this price.
I have been asked, “If it so good why is it so inexpensive?” That’s easy to answer. This digital program has been so successful that I no longer have to have an old-fashioned training center with the high dollar overhead that goes along with it.
Are you one of those people who believe you have to go cross-country and sit in a classroom, hundreds or thousands of miles away from home to feel like you are learning? I understand. I used to think that way, but students from all over the world have proven that idea wrong. While you’ve been sitting there saying that you don’t believe a person can get quality professional training in digital format, others have already completed their training and been doing jobs and collecting payment for their services. You snooze; you lose.
It makes no sense to not use the technology available to us today to its fullest extent and other people know that.
This course totals 25 hours and is broken down into 51 segments that are about 30 minutes each. 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.
It's just like being in the classroom, even the hands-on sections. You will work a scene with me step-by-step as every movement and action is explained in full detail.
This is the same course I used to charge $1895.00 to attend! This is the same course that people from as far away as Europe and Australia came to attend.
Don’t waste time and money reinventing the wheel.

We now offer an Employee Only Training DVD for business owners.
Go to our “Buy Here” page to learn more.
This DVD includes the files to print out our textbook, which is synchronized with the training videos. When I say, "Turn to page 245," you simply turn to page 245 in the textbook that you printed out and you're right there in class with everyone else. Why waste our natural resources, add to global warming, and pay shipping charges to have a textbook shipped to you when you can simply print one out at home?
Do you want to work for an existing company? Who has a better chance at being hired: A person who knows nothing, or a person who has been trained and comes to the table with eight certifications? It costs a company about $10,000.00 to train an employee. Give them a reason to hire you. Whose resume is going to look better: A person that has no training or credentials, or a person who is fully certified?
Do you want to start your own company? This DVD will teach you everything you need to know about the crime scene clean up business.
Upon passing the final exam (additional $125.00 fee) you will be awarded the following eight certificates:1. Amdecon 29 CFR Part 1910 Compliant CTS Decon Specialist Course
2. Bloodborne Pathogens 29 CFR 1910.1030
3. Respiratory Protection 29 CFR 1910.134
4. Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) 29 CFR 1910.1200
5. Personal Protective Equipment 29 CFR 1910.132
6. Confined Space Awareness 29 CFR 1910.146
7. Fall Protection Awareness 29 CFR 1910.66 Appendix C
8. Lock out/Tag out Awareness 29 CFR 1910.147
The certifications I issue are recognized by the United States Federal Government and meet the California Health and Safety Code Chapter 9.5, Section 11832 which sets the standards for California Trauma scene waste management practitioners and are valid for conducting CTS Biorecovery work anywhere in the world.

Thank you for the correspondence course. We are in the restoration business in Australia and found the DVD extremely informative an easy to follow. There was not an area that was not covered and we have been able to implement a lot of the procedures that we were not doing into our daily work. Our company is a lot more confident in all areas of our work and we are growing in this bleak market which we attribute to Amdecon training. Keep up the excellent work and thank you for the ongoing emails and updates to new processes and training. Peter, Australia
A note on the final exam: The test is not difficult and it is not designed to fail you. It is open book and there are no "trick" questions.
You can study at your own leisure. Study after work, in the evening, or during the weekends. Fit your training into your life instead of making your life fit someone else's schedule.
Two people may be certified per DVD (exam fees extra): If your company wants to certify two people then you need to purchase one DVD and two exam packages. If your company wants to certify six people then you need to purchase three DVDs and six exam packages. Each person being certified must live and work in the same metro area. I 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. Attempted abuse of this policy will not be tolerated and will result in no certifications being issued.

I’ve had the idea to start a crime scene clean-up business for 10 years now, but recently, due to the failing economy, decided to act on it. I started out trying to pull it together on my own, but my wife stumbled across this website and purchased the training program for me. What a lifesaver!! There were things in the program that I had not even thought of!! Most helpful were the templates for the Bloodborne Pathogens, Respiratory Protection and Hazard Communication Programs. My wife was working on the compliance end of things and found this tool to be invaluable. As far as I am concerned, the price of the program is a STEAL!!! The program explains everything you will need to start the business along with how to handle all types of clean-ups. I cannot thank you enough for making this program available!

Thank you for the opportunity of your online training course. From the moment I started the training, it felt like you were right there walking me through it. It was tremendously informative and answered every question I had in regards to crime and trauma scene clean up. It cleared up all misconceptions I had prior to the course, and gave me confidence to move forward in this new career. It also made me more safety conscious! You and your training have put me on the right track to expanding my business into this field. I appreciated the sense of honesty and integrity that I got from you while watching the training videos. I have modeled my business based on the knowledge I received in this online training course. Thank you for such affordable training.

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.
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 in their own homes without ever setting foot in a classroom.
Why would some people say you can’t get good quality professional training in this manner?
It really boils down to two reasons:
1) They own an existing company and don’t want me training someone in their own back yard; they don’t want the competition. Do you really think they would say this course was good?
No, of course they wouldn't.
2) They have an old-fashioned training center with all the overhead to go with it. They don’t want you to take my training because they want you to fly cross-country and come to them so they can pay their bills. Do you really think they would say this course was good?
No, of course they wouldn't.
I've upset a lot of people and existing companies by helping you become one of their competitors. I've upset a lot of people with traditional training centers by giving you the opportunity to get trained from home.
Do you really expect them to say that that this is a good training program? Of course not, they want you to spend your money with them instead of learning from home at your convenience at a fraction of their cost. Do you really expect them to say, “Yeah, it’s a great program I’d get it if I were you?” They’re never going to say that.

I have been featured nationally and internationally as an expert and leader in the safety and health industries. I've been interviewed by radio and television affiliates with CBS, NBC, ABC, Telemundo, and RLT Germany. I've been cited as an expert in the bio-recovery industry for major publications, including the Dallas Morning News, ICS Cleaning Specialist trade journal, Cleaning and Restoration Trade Journal, HowStuffWorks.com, KansasCity.com, Dallas Observer, NorthJersey.com, Maryland Daily Record, the Oxford Press, Tampa Business News, The Fugitive Post, The Mercury, Ashland City Times, Interviu Magazine (Spain), and Brutus Magazine (Japan).
I don't say these things to boast, but to let you know that you can benefit from my many years of experience. You don't have to make the same mistakes I made in the early days.
I've been in this business for a decade; that's 87,600 hours. Let me share with you the things I've learned in those 87,600 hours.
Some people ask me why I don’t keep this information to myself so I can make more money by opening more offices. That’s easy; I’m in my mid fifties, I’ve spent the last decade working 12 hours a day 7 days a week and I’m ready to slow down and devote my time to the Suicide Aftercare Association.

Michael Tillman is an excellent teacher. I found what he covered in his training material and the lessons he instructed to fully prepare me as to what I would be dealing with in a real situation.
I did my first trauma scene job a month after I complete the course and received my certifications. I was fully prepared to estimate and follow through to the full clean up with confidence. My client was really happy with my services and said I was very professional. They recommended me that week for my second trauma scene of which that client also was pleased with my services. I credit Michael Tillman for all the professional training I received. Thank-you Michael Tillman and Amdecon. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who is thinking about professional training in Crime and Trauma Scene Clean up. David, Vancouver, BC Canada
By offering this training program to people all over the world I will be able to continue my purpose of helping people. If I help you to help others it will have a snowball effect and people will be helping people because of my efforts long after I’m dead and gone.
Everyone deserves the opportunity to get into this business and provide a much needed service in their community while making good money doing it.
How do I know my training course provides good education? The same way any education center knows, I verify, that's how! I have verified the results through testing. I know by the exam answers and student feedback that my students are getting a real education.
Humans automatically resist anything new. The people telling you that you can’t get a great education from my training course are the same people that would have told me back in 1999 that I could never build a successful company cleaning up blood and guts. They are close minded to any new way of doing things.
What happens when you attend an old fashioned class and you have questions or want to review something six months later? You can't go back to that class without spending thousands of dollars again. With my training program and the companion text book you can go back and take the entire course again, or just review a particular segment any time you wish. The course is yours to keep forever. You can review any time at absolutely no additional cost.
This digital course includes Hands-On-Training. Work a scene with me. Everything I do is explained and narrated step by step. I not only show you what to do but I explain why I am doing it that way. Learn how to assess a scene. What things to look for, and what things most people overlook. I 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 me step-by-step you will gain the knowledge and experience that takes some people a year to learn out in the field.
If I called you up right now and said I wanted you to come with me to a scene and stand next to me while I worked the scene from beginning to end and I was going to explain to you why I was doing something and demonstrated how I was doing it and taught you about all the different floors coverings, personal items and everything else in the room you’d think me calling you was a fantastic once in a lifetime opportunity! Well, this is no different and you get to do it from your home.
I will teach you how to set up your own custom-designed hands-on training module with all the visuals, blood, gore, and stench, just like a real crime scene; just like I used to create at my world-class training center. You’ll get hot, sweaty and smell like a dead man.
I will teach you how to have your own mini training center at your home or office. This is a tremendous boost to your self confidence and will provide valuable insight to the work we do.
When you complete this course you will have all the real hands-on experience you need to get started in this business. You’ll be able to go to your first job with complete confidence.

Some people might ask, "What about Anthrax, Avian Flu H5N1, SARS, Norovirus, or Agroterrorism?"
Don't build your business around something that "might happen" or around something that is going to be handled by government agencies.
Don't waste your time getting trained for a terrorist attack; your odds of winning the lottery are better. Nobody has needed an Anthrax cleanup for the last 5 years.
Suicides, homicides, decompositions, and gross filth properties will always be around. Everyday someone needs your clean up services for these scenes.
In addition to a decade of experience in this industry, having the knowledge of what it takes to start a company from ground zero, and the experience of performing thousands of jobs, I have spent 300 hours attending 1 of only 26 OSHA Education Centers to obtain the title of Certified Safety & Health Official. Let me share my knowledge and experience with you.
Why reinvent the wheel?
There are two kinds of people in this world; talkers and doers. Which one are you?
Sincerely,
