NVQ in Window cleaning again, come on guys, lets leave it alone, if we ignore the fact that its happening, it might go away and we will not all be a laughing stock

I have been out on the boat today, so i have missed this delightful thread  ;D It is good to see people with sense and not just accepting this is the way it should be



i was informed you have a interest in these nvq's as you are getting something out them,i,e a wage? not sure if thats true but heard a rumour!
if true i can see why you think a nvq in window cleaning is so important,lol pmsl.
i can just imagine going canvassing and telling everyone you have nvq's in window cleaning,by the time you get to the 5th house the people in white coats will come and take you away!
 come on iv'e never laughed so much in all my life,nvq in window cleaning,lol
 No wonder the country is in such a mess,all the homeless and unemployed yet the government are prepared to throw money at such a worthless course!
 
 When your window cleaning with a pole the brush cleans the window,doh
 if your using a ladder you have to climb it,scratching my head.
 Don't drop your pole at full height its dangerous.
 Well done you have a nvq! wow wee  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
i will make One thing clear to you, I do not get paid to promote nvqs
I have had mine over 2 years if you look back you will see this, you wasn't informed you read it the other day when you was slagging off impact with james and whats his face your remarks just go to show why people really should go on and get one, if you employ which I am only guessing you don't from your comments would land you in serious hot water with that attitude, you my friend can laugh and wet yourself when laughing all you like :o as I said prior you have a chip on your shoulder what nvq do you have ?



Due to the fact that Ian ' wishywashy' Wicks has mentioned me, i thought it only polite to reply

Ian ' wishywashy' Wicks is of course full of the virtues of this course, For people who do not know, he has a ' vested interest " as he works for the people who provide the course, just pointing this out as new members might not realise this, it might be a idea for suppliers to have to put that in the profile, just so we know that they have a vested interest in this and are bias

In reply to me ' slagging off ' impact, that was far from the truth, I was just pointing out the discrepancies, i guess if i do not tow the line, thats slagging them off ?

i wasnt slagging them off im just saying its a waste of tax payers money for a worthless course in a dead end unskilled job!
i presume ian you are probably a old man and thats why you feel the course is so important.But for me a nvq in window cleaning is not something i would brag about.
Takings off all first cleans till march 7th 2014
October  total=  cleaned  extra per month
November = cleaned extra per month
Total £  so far.

I've been quite vocal on here regarding government funding for these courses etc. But I must confess I haven't looked too closely at what the course entails other than there's a fair amount of h&s. Could those who have done it tell me roughly what percentage is h&s, running a business & actual cleaning windows?

Trade
Noun: The action of buying and selling goods and services.

Not sure if there was a lot of boozed up people yesterday evening but reading this thread and seeing how it has been hijacked is pretty disgusting. I guess there are no less trolls in this part of the internet than any other. I suppose I though people sharing essentially the same business were more grounded. I was certainly shocked to see individuals with such high post counts on these forums resorting to personal attacks.

For anyone thinking Window Cleaning is simply about applying an applicator and squeegee or brush and pure water to glass... you're so very wrong! For a lot of guys Window Cleaning has been the opportunity to build their very own business from absolutely nothing, which involves a hell of a lot more skills.

I set up in business as a Window Cleaner, at the age of 46 after being made redundant, with my 20 year old son who is a fully qualified electrician who couldn't get work when the recession hit the building industry as hard as it did. 2½ years later my son has got his own place and we're doing OK. Our Window Cleaning business still having huge scope for expansion and lots of potential to offer employment in an area that suffers with high unemployment.

From a very personal view point I welcome anything that will help me learn more about my new trade, whether it be from innovation from the likes of Alex Gardiner and his approach to WFP or the likes of Impact43 who cause me to stop and think about how we do what we do.

Will my City & Guilds Window Cleaning qualification win me business? It certainly won't do me any harm and it will look nice on our letter heads (yes we have letterheads... go figure!) along side the FWC logo, CRB registration, etc. HSE involvement is becoming more and more prevalent in business, which means business is having to look closer at their suppliers, so it may even open a few doors.

I've been quite vocal on here regarding government funding for these courses etc. But I must confess I haven't looked too closely at what the course entails other than there's a fair amount of h&s. Could those who have done it tell me roughly what percentage is h&s, running a business & actual cleaning windows?
Hi DG , i am currently on the course at the moment with one more day to do this wednesday, when i have finished i will be giving my views both positive and negative on how i viewed the course, Lee has asked me to write an article for his magazine and i have accepted to do this i hope it helps as i am sorry to say if the subject starts being discussed on here i feel it does not take long before the debates get personal and so loose any benefit to anybody.

Trevor, i hope it will be warts and all, as we know what these magazine ( not just Lee's ) articles are like when they want to sell advertising space, you only have to look at how Admin here reacted when a sponsor was put in a bad light

It is quite easy to slag things off on here if it doesn't appeal to you.

I welcome anything in window cleaning, good or bad, because i will make my own choices.

NVQ in window cleaning, i cannot see what the problem is, its good to see people trying to do everything they can to learn more, and try and stand out from their competitors.

Before anyone starts giving it the big one !

Do you really know everything there is to know about window cleaning ?

I certainly dont know everything, and i have almost 30 years experience.

You can always learn more, and that can only be good for your business.

No, the first day you spend sorting the crayons into different colours

Second day they fill in name and address on the form
