Master Cleaners Training Institute

Since 2007, Master Cleaners Training Institute has been raising the bar for commercial cleaner training in New Zealand.

As a highly respected training organisation, were proud to deliver internationally recognised programmes that set the standard for the industry. Our training programmes meet internationally recognised industry training standards in practical cleaning techniques and health and safety.

Our training aligns with the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc), NZQA Level 3 in Cleaning with Contagion Prevention, and the South Australian Healthcare Cleaning Standard (2021).

Backed by Crest Commercial Cleaning Ltd, we know what works. Every programme has been tried, tested, and proven with CrestClean franchisees, who are among the most qualified cleaners in the country. The results speak for themselves: higher productivity, strong long-term client relationships, and longer franchisee tenure, with people who stay and grow with the business.

In 2016, Master Cleaners Training Institute introduced the Certificate in Commercial Cleaning (CCC), a programme designed specifically to meet the needs of New Zealands commercial cleaning industry.

Trainees who successfully complete the programme are formally assessed by MCTI-accredited assessors and awarded the Certificate in Commercial Cleaning. Within the industry, this qualification is regarded as a Licence to Clean.

We also provide specialised training in Hard Floor Care, Carpet Cleaning, and site-specific skills, ensuring cleaners are equipped with the expertise their work demands.

Building on this foundation, CrestClean launched its Certificate in Healthcare Cleaning in 2022. This advanced qualification covers Infection Prevention and Control, cross-contamination avoidance, and evidence-based hygiene procedures. It combines theoretical and practical training at healthcare sites across the country.
