Spartan Chemical Company, Inc., manufacturer of sustainable cleaning and sanitation solutions for the industrial and institutional market, announced the training and certification of nearly 50 building service contractor attendees during their annual BSC Seminar.

Each year Spartan hosts a two day seminar focused on BSCs and relevant topics facing their industry. This year, the seminar focused on the importance of training and leveraged the new ISSA CITS program to confer advanced pro certification to the attendees. The Cleaning Industry Training Standard (CITS) program is designed to increase professionalism and demonstrate a commitment to effective training. Specifically, the program is focused on training and certifying frontline cleaning professionals to a set industry standard.

“With the release of the new CITS standard, we thought it would be valuable to offer this accreditation to our BSC partners at our annual seminar,” said John Swigart, President, Spartan Chemical Company. “We congratulate the inaugural group of CITS certified facilities professionals on their commitment to growth and performance.”

During the two day seminar, CITS training was administered via Spartan’s CleanCheck® Training System, which is a CITS verified training program for advance pro certification in the following areas: Hard Floor Care, Health Care, Carpet Care, Restroom Care, Hazcom Communication, and School/Education Institution. Additionally, David Frank, President, AICS spoke on using training to increase value and retain customers and employees in order to generate an overall improved value proposition to the market.
