CQD New Gen1 August 2026
<p>Great cleaning is a skill. Until now, there was no simple way for a cleaner to <em>prove</em> that skill to the people hiring. We're changing that with <strong>CQD Certifications</strong>.</p> <h2>What it is</h2> <p>A CQD Certification is a verified badge you earn by passing a short, practical assessment. There are two to start with: the <strong>CQD Commercial Certification</strong> (offices, retail, washrooms, colour-coding, COSHH and site safety) and the <strong>CQD Domestic Certification</strong> (homes, cross-contamination, chemical safety, keys and client trust).</p> <h2>How it works</h2> <p>The assessment is a mix of quick multiple-choice questions and real-world scenarios. Our assessors mark your answers and your result is ready within minutes. Pass, and you earn a verified badge plus a higher place on the CQD leaderboard, exactly where clients look first.</p> <h2>Why it matters</h2> <p>The best cleaners are often invisible online. A certification and a visible rating change that. Certified professionals stand out, rank higher, and win more work. It's the difference between being one of many and being the obvious choice.</p> <h2>The platform stays free</h2> <p>This is important: CQD New Gen is, and stays, 100% free. Posting a job is free. Applying is free. Joining is free. There is no commission, ever, you keep every penny you earn. The certification is an <em>optional</em> upgrade for cleaners who want to prove their skills and get seen faster. That's it.</p> <h2>Get certified today</h2> <p>Take the assessment free and see how you do.
