The cleaning businesses are licensed by the National Environment Agency (“NEA”).

The licences need to be renewed annually. We will provide training and assessment required by the cleaning businesses to fulfill NEA’s Cleaning Business Licence / Enhanced Clean Mark Accreditation Scheme requirements, every year. We also provides consultancy services in the areas of cleaning business licensing, training needs analysis, training grants and subject matter expertise on cleaning for these clients.
