Hi

What initial training (courses) would you recommend for a new starter in the game?

I know people will say hands on with someone local etc..but easier said than done..

If i take the plunge i'd like to at least have some kind of idea

Have seen the BWCA which looks like its aimed at the likes of me and they do both trad & wfp.. just wondering what you guys have done if anything or if someone can recommend this or an alternative..

Thanks in advance
Paul

Craig Mawlam at the BWCA has so much knowledge. Practical stuff that helps you work smarter. I have done both courses, trad and wfp and after many years of window cleaning I learned so much that my working is now much more profitable.
Well worth the money.
