Associations & Organisations

NICE

Plans are underway to launch a membership-based organisation in the near future focussed on helping individuals at all levels to network globally both online and face to face. Key objectives of the organisation will be to ensure members have improved access to information and have the ability share ideas to improve knowledge, health and well-being.

Membership affiliation was once seen as a badge offering a veneer of respectability. However in reality, this was not the case. We hope to reinstate the credibility of affiliate organisation memberships. Unlike other organisations, the National Institute of Cleaning Education will work with multiple accredited adult education providers to offer members greater choice and support which is essential for control of quality and consistency.
