The live practical assessment
The practical is an instructor-observed demonstration in a CWS-approved mock area, aligned to your selected specialization track. During the assessment you will:
- Follow a work order
- Set up the work area safely
- Complete the assigned cleaning tasks
- Prevent cross-contamination
- Inspect the finished work
- Document the work
Passing standards
- 80% or higher on the written assessment
- 80% or higher on the practical rubric
- Every safety-critical item on the practical must be passed
If a safety-critical item is missed, coaching and a repeat demonstration are required before CWS Cleaner Qualification can be granted.
