What You Will Learn in the Online Housekeeper Foundation Course

Professional housekeeping is built on clear systems, consistent techniques, and strong household standards. Online foundation training focuses on giving you a structured understanding of how professional housekeepers work in private homes.

The course begins with essential foundations, including:

  1. Professional behaviour and workplace standards
  2. Hygiene, safety, and wellbeing in the home
  3. Communication and employer relationships
  4. Cultural awareness for working in international households
  5. Understanding the structure of a private household
  6. Once these principles are established, the training moves into practical, method-based learning. Through guided modules and demonstrations, students learn:
  7. Systematic cleaning methods and professional sequences
  8. Safe handling of delicate materials and surfaces
  9. Structured dusting, vacuuming, and mopping techniques
  10. Laundry basics and fabric care awareness
  11. Tools, kits, and equipment used in private households

In addition to techniques, the course introduces essential household systems such as cleaning order, zoning, colour coding, and the difference between deep cleaning and daily maintenance routines. These systems help ensure consistency, efficiency, and high standards across all areas of the home.

The structured, step-by-step format allows learners to build confidence gradually and develop professional habits that can be applied immediately in real private household environments.
