What to expect on City & Guilds course?
« on: November 28, 2012, 11:33:27 pm »
Recently booked my place on the course for the 4th of December in Birmingham with Impact43 & was just wondering what kind of things you do and is it worth my while?

Day four is particularly good. You get trained to turn a vacuuum cleaner on  ;)

I can't for the life of me see how they've managed to spin that lot out over four days and then have the nerve to charge £100 more for ladder training  ???

If the important health and safety bits were put into one day then I would consider attending but there appears to be too much padding stuffed into that for me.

Maybe there is a HSE course elsewhere for the experienced cleaner? Anyone know?

Dave why don't you call them and ask if they do a h&s course only?

For the nvq there is no possible way you could do it in a day the paperwork for it takes longer than a day to complete alone

the paperwork takes 4 days as most people know window cleaners are thick and cant read and write properly and everything needs to be proof read by a normal respectable member of the public. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Wouldn't it be easier to do the majority of the classwork/paperwork online. . . .  then just have a day practical ?

doing things online and in a class room environment are totally different. I totally see where your coming from as a lot of the things I do are online. I wouldnt know if some of it can go online or even if nvq people would allow it.

it would make it alot easier but would it have the same impact

You need to do a simple search on here for Impact 43 I think you'll find these courses are very popular amongst all members ;D
