"I highly recommend Jeff Cutshall with
Jon-Don"

by Kevin Kluth, Pinnacle Eco Clean

For over 40 years I’ve owned a carpet and rug cleaning business in the Rochester, NY area. I highly recommend Jeff Cutshall with Jon Don. We’ve had Jeff train several of our technicians, including our receptionist. He has a nice relaxed, informal style of teaching that I’m sure your technicians will appreciate just as mine have. We’ve been very happy with his instruction. Jeff has taught both the IICRC carpet certification class as well as the IICRC upholstery certification class. I’m sure you will be just as happy attending one of Jeff’s classes as I have.

Marleen Geyen

"The perfect certified instructor for us"

by Marleen Geyen, Geyen Group South

Through research and referral I found the perfect certified instructor for us and it has made all the difference. Annually Jeff comes to introduce and refresh information truly necessary for technicians to be experts in their field of commercial carpet cleaning. Speaking in both Spanish and English Jeff is able to communicate detailed information that applies to the work we do in our accounts every night.

"One of my best decisions"

by Deshaun Neita

Taking the CCT class with Jeff Cutshall was one of my best decisions made. At first I was a little nervous about learning so much information in such a short time, but Mr. Cutshall made the process smooth and understandable. Now because of the class I took, and the encouragement of a brillant and resourceful teacher, I now own my own carpet cleaning business. Thank you for being a great mentor Jeff Cutshall.

FAQ

If at all possible, please read over the manual before the class starts. There is a lot of information packed into a 1-day class. If possible, it’s better if you please print off your manual. This makes it easier to take notes. Please have pen and highlighter handy during the class to be able to take notes.

Absolutely! Please have your questions ready. If you have any photos from previous jobs that you have questions about please send them to me before the class, and if possible, we will discuss them during the class.

Zoom is the videoconferencing program that we'll be using and therefore it is required to have Zoom installed ahead of the class along with a solid internet connection. Here are the Zoom requirements. And the Zoom FAQ page.
