ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

Italy reporter for ECJ Anna Garbagna tells us about a new training programme starting this autumn.

The second edition of the Advanced Training Course in Cleaning Management, developed by Università degli Studi of Bergamo which involves Afidamp in the definition of programming and teaching activities, will start in October.

The objective of the course is to provide knowledge of methods, techniques and tools for the management of activities connected to the cleaning of commercial, workplace and civil environments by providing an overview of the main technologies currently available.

This is an innovative programme aimed at a wide audience: marketing and management staff of cleaning services for companies operating in the cleaning sector; facilities management staff of industrial and healthcare companies; distribution and services providers; maintenance staff of industrial companies; commercial staff of companies supplying technology for the cleaning sector; public administration procurement officers and staff.

This edition of the course has a substantial increase in the number of training hours, from 70 to 120 and thanks to Afidamp’s contribution, it will address more specifically the topics of sanitisation, traditional and innovative equipment available on the market, the monitoring of results and more.

There is a great deal of satisfaction to see the return of ISSA Pulire as a face-to-face event in Verona this September. Within the exhibition, Afidamp will be present in an important role with opportunities for meetings and discussions within the world of companies, trade associations and suppliers. During the three-day event, Afidamp will organise a rich programme of meetings and talk shows.

The intense experiences of 2020 and the first months of 2021 which saw Afidamp as a participant in many institutional committees, will be explained and presented during the show in the year the association also celebrates its 40th anniversary.

Of particular interest will be an insight into the topics of CAMs (Minimum Environmental Criteria), three months after their implementation; surveys on the production and distribution sector carried out in cooperation with CERVED;  focus on Transition Plane 4.0 and updates on the machines sector.
All this is in addition to the presentation of the previously mentioned Advanced Training Course in Cleaning Management.

During the event, Afidamp will also dedicate important space to its members, rewarding their commitment and the role they play within the organisation by giving important awards to Senior Member and Best Member. The first award is given to the veteran members who have showed greatest loyalty to the association over time; the latter is awarded to those who excelled in the two year period  2019/2020 for their commitment within the association, devoting time and resources towards the growth of the sector and the associative role.

Afidamp’s space at the show will be a reference point for its members - a place to meet and connect with the objective of inspiring professional growth and discussion.
