Carpet cleaning courses versus devices
« on: March 16, 2011, 08:32:08 pm »
Hi guys,

Up until a few weeks ago I was set on buying a host machine to start my new cc business, after one post on here I soon changed my mind.

I want to complete a highly recommended course but don't want the course to be geared towards one particular brand or product to clean with, for example prochem. I have nothing against prochem but due to my nieveity with all the different types of product out there I feel like I'd be missing out on something.

I have never done cc before so if the general opinion on here is that I do the prochem course and buy a prochem device then great, that's what I'll do.

Cheers

Simon@arenaclean

whilst most manufacturers training courses would be geared toward their own products the principles you will learn would still be a benefit. Cleansmart run courses with Derek Boulton, one of the most respected people in the industry, they supply Prochem, Hydramaster and Chemspec products as well as their own machines and chemicals, you may find them more independent. The NCCA run courses and they maybe your best bet as they are not tied to any supplier. What suppliers do you have nearby?

With you being in Norfolk, both Cleansmart at Nottingham or NCCA at Leicester are as easy as anywhere to get to.

As  Gwil is in Buckinghamshire perhaps courses by Big Clean could also be considered

Paul Pierce President of IIRC is usually the instructor

Whoops! Must have looked at the location for Simon when I should have looked at Gwil who as Ian said is in Bucks.
