Floor Care Technician

About this course

Hospital floors carry patients, beds, equipment and visitors around the clock, and they cannot simply be closed for the night the way an office floor can. This course teaches the knowledge behind hospital floor care: knowing the floor before you touch it, daily dust and damp mopping, carpet care and extraction, auto scrubbing, equipment care and maintenance, stripping and refinishing, burnishing and finish maintenance, floor safety and infection control, and scheduling floor work so it does not hold up patient flow.

What this course adds

Detail work runs through every lesson: corners, edges, baseboards, thresholds and the spots machines miss, which is where inspectors and patients look first.

Many entry-level hospital EVS programs stop at reporting floors that need advanced care. This course teaches the full floor technician skill set past that point, and most floor care training is written for commercial buildings. This course is written for hospitals: floor work planned around the discharge peak band and the bed board, discharge rooms finished last and dried fast, isolation areas and blood spills handled by policy, and loud machines kept away from patient rooms during quiet hours.

How it works

• 8 lessons plus a welcome, with hospital scenarios and figures
• A 10-question practice quiz after each lesson, unlimited tries
• A practice shift in Lesson 8 that puts the whole night's floor plan together
• Final quiz: 20 questions from a bank of 40, 80 percent to pass, 3 attempts
• A two-page Floor Care Quick Reference Card with dilution and finish math, troubleshooting, special floors and asbestos rules
• A certificate of completion
• A printable Floor Care Equipment Weekly Checklist for your floor care closet
• Department packs add print-ready laminate cards for floor carts and a supervisor skills observation guide

It is built from Impact Training Company’s 2027 Floor Care Technician curriculum and draws on IICRC carpet cleaning guidance, ANSI/NFSI B101 walkway safety, OSHA Hazard Communication and Bloodborne Pathogens standards, and CDC environmental infection control guidelines, OSHA’s asbestos flooring rules and ISSA cleaning times.

What this course is, and is not

This is knowledge training. It does not teach you to run a machine safely by itself: your hospital trains and checks you on each machine before you use it. When this course and your hospital’s policy, the product label or the floor maker’s care guide differ, follow those.

This course earns an ITC certificate of completion. It is not an AHE certification and does not replace your hospital’s competency validation or policies, and it does not promise a job or a raise.
