just received my city and guild certificates ... nice one impact 43  .

city and guilds in window cleaning lol you must be so proud!!

lol everyone to their own i guess. its all about safety awareness  generally . some good stuff and some over the top tbh . but it does show you are taking your job seriously . you need a nvq to work in macdonalds these days...........(my other job  ) so doing one in wc seems the natural step..... one day i wouldnt be surprised if ins companies insist on you doing training courses. and it didnt cost so why not and im a cowboy

[keyser soze]

in fact they should say its a window cleaning safety awareness course

tbh mcdonalds is a far more skilled job than window cleaning.
i very much doubt that insurance companies would insist in nvq's in window cleaning but if you tell them they might wet themselves with laughter.
 tell your mates you have passed your nvq's in window cleaning,that would have the pub laughing forever.

[windiewasher]

iam not putting you down mate!! i just can not see the point of it all, i have over 400 customers do i think having a city and guilds in window cleaning will help my business??? NO not one jot. i dont think many on here would have dreamed of taking a course if they were not provided free of charge by impact 43. to me they are a waste of tax payers money, but not to impact 43 who seem to be making a pretty penny out of it all. and from what they tell us on here about H&S iam surprized that we ever get out of the driveway in the morning without filling in a risk assesment. scaremainering is the word i would use. scaremainering to make a profit. this is a tactic also used by the window cleaning arm of the business next door to them, there canvasser has told some of my customers horry stories used to get a £8 job

yawn yawn yawn here we go again

doubt you would think that if some company was poaching all your work would you?

[keyser soze]

from what i see poaching is part and parcel of the trade. i can only guess who you are talking about ....have you tried  poaching their work...

cooking is a different skill set altogether and in macdonalds everything is timed bad example there docwindows. ( I have an nvq in cooking too

Do you really care more about your mates laughing at you than looking better in your progression of business ( I did when I was younger) my mates don't pay for my life i worked that out quickly that my business does. ( I would laugh back at them if they laughted now but I guess it depends on the company you keep, mine don't laugh they are happy for me.

Nobody is forcing you to go on the course. It is a choice.

 Having an nvq looks a whole lot better to customers than not having one, it shows them you take your job/business that little more serious than the average window cleaner.
Moreover you could learn something you didn't know and could implement into your business, could be for safety, a time saver, a money saver/maker.  ( the money maker part is not part of the course, better make that clear before someone jumps on it)

I would be very worried if i learnt something about window cleaning.
Anyone with half of sense learns in 10 seconds.

ahahahahahahahaha now that's funny

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

Personally, I would be embarrassed to publicly promote a C&G in WC'ing. Also, if I were to try & use it as a tool of enhancement, I would expect the recipient to feel slightly insulted!

If you feel you need one, fine, but I don't!

[Window Washers]

That's a fair answer winpro

That's your feeling not sure why they would be insulted though but each to their own

[Moderator David@stives]

All my customers laugh at me for having an NVQ, I nearly got barred from cleaning a local hospital  when they found out.

Amazing how much window cleaning has changed over the years, just think how many lives have been saved due to better H&S !       Any course that promotes safer working, and promotes a more professional image gets my vote.

I worked on ladders for many years due to ignorance and being pig headed ( came off twice too ) yes it is more expensive investing in all the gear, and yes some people might scoff at qualifications for window cleaning but how highly do you view your life ?

So, are you telling us that you really didn't have the intelligence to realise the risks for all those ladder using years?
