Cello Announces 2008 CIMS-Certified Experts

ISSA has certified the first group of individuals as official Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) ISSA Certification Experts (I.C.E.) in 2008. Cello has qualified 2 representatives that have earned this title through education and training in the program.

Becoming a certified CIMS expert positions an individual to provide training or consulting services to those cleaning organizations interested in complying with the Standard and preparing to certify to CIMS-a consensus-based industry standard that sets forth the universally accepted management principles that have proven to be the hallmarks of well-managed and customer-centered cleaning organizations. "ISSA remains extremely pleased with the tremendous reception the I.C.E. program has received in the supplier and facility service provider communities," stated ISSA Director of CIMS Dan Wagner. "The individuals who achieved I.C.E. certification in February join those who are already actively assisting their facility service provider customers implement a quality and customer-focused management system in hopes of achieving certification to CIMS." To become a CIMS expert, professionals within the cleaning industry must attend a one-day workshop and pass an examination regarding the management elements contained in the Standard. The I.C.E. designation is earned by and applies to an individual professional and not to an entire organization.

Cello can help your customer become certified in the new ISSA Industry Standard program. Please contract Cello for an I.C.E. certified member on staff to assist your business in growing in the BSC industry.
