Training that people actually remember
The Construction Infection Control Training Institute has been providing infection control training since 1997, and issuing ICRA certifications since 2012. We are practitioners first: our trainers have supported hundreds of healthcare projects nationwide. We teach from Fort Mill, South Carolina, and on your site anywhere in the country.
WHETHER WE FOCUS ON THE INDIVIDUAL STUDENT, THE HR DEPARTMENT OR THE BUSINESS OWNER – TRAINING USUALLY DOES NOT RANK IN THE MOST APPETIZING OF CONSIDERATIONS.
We understand that some people would rather renew their driver’s license than sit in training all day. Some Owners see the expense of training their personnel as only slightly preferred to taxes and overhead.
At CICTI, we appreciate these perspectives and focus on making each of our courses worth the students’ time. We understand that all of us are busy people, forced to multitask at every turn in our fast-paced technocentric work environments. Consistently, we hear that our students are surprised that they learn as much as they do and that it wasn’t just another training course.
The bulk of our clients are repeat customers who understand that CICTI actually enhances performance in the field and in the office. We are committed to strengthening the peripheral vision of infection prevention to facilitate risk minimization, support patient wellness and provide liability protection as it relates to executing high-risk healthcare construction, renovation and maintenance projects.

JJ is a member of the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE), the North Carolina Healthcare Engineers Association (NCHEA) and the Florida Healthcare Engineers Association (FHEA).

WHY CICTI
Professionals, not professors
Our trainers have supported owners, designers, and contractors. Having seen infection control from every side of the table, CICTI holds a holistic view of what each party actually needs.
Hands-on, not 20,000 feet
Most commercially available programs stop at generic protocols and broad concepts. We put you in the mock-up room, building and inspecting the controls you will be responsible for.
Scaled to the audience
Tiered programs run from the worker in the field to the manager accountable for the ICRA, so nobody sits through material aimed at someone else’s job.
CICTI trainers have extensive experience supporting hundreds of healthcare projects nationwide. They are not professors, but are professionals. Our trainers have experience supporting Owners, Designers, and Contractors. Having ‘seen’ infection control through the perspective of the various vested parties, CICTI has a holistic view of the objectives, needs, and perspective of the array of entities involved in complex healthcare projects.
CICTI Certification Programs are uniquely focused on delivering hands-on, comprehensive training and Certifications in Infection Control during Healthcare construction, renovation, and maintenance. CICTI was created to fill an identified gap in cost-effective, comprehensive, hands-on Infection Control Training targeted for specific audiences – right down to the worker in the field. Existing commercially available training programs are mostly restricted to the 20,000 feet level with generic protocols and broad concept based approaches. At CICTI, we emphasize hands-on use and proper implementation of scaled control strategies during healthcare renovations in our onsite mock-up rooms. We are devoted to maximizing your personnel’s absorbed knowledge and your Corporate ROI on your precious training dollars.
