Check out the Prochem one, I found the two day course very useful.

There's one coming up in Newcastle soon which is probably closest to you (I think)

Best one??? they are probably much the same, I did my first one with Paul Pearce at the NCCA, especially liked the one after with Derek Bolton  but probably because things clicked more.

The NCCA 2 day Carpet & Upholstery course runs in Leicester every couple of months, there is one in November.  This is a great general introduction to the industry, not aligned with any particular manufacturer.

if you are intending to join the ncca then do their training course as it is or was part of their joining criteria, if not then do a course with a supplier as they are almost exactly the same in content but much cheaper.

i think paul pierce does the alltec training ( ncca trainer too) and derek bolton does cleansmart training both well respected for their knowledge in the carpet cleaning industry.

I've only done the NCCA course. The thing is, at least back when I did it, it was all theory. I'm not saying that's not useful, but if you're after a 'practical step by step guide to how to clean carpets' the NCCA course isn't it.

Ive done NCCA, Prochem & Solution courses in the last year. NCCA & Prochem you only get to watch the instructor demonstrate methods, with Solutions you do get hands on experience.. Downside is long way to travel to Cornwall.

You also go over to the other forum, hate all things "scream it up" and worship the holy water of the "M POWER" and wash the feet of the messiah who can never remember what his surname is.. 

It does offer a hands on approach though...

i hear in some places if you buy a wife you get a free second name.

 double barrelled always gives the impression of integrity and honesty ? even though it is not always the case.

For value for money, I would go for Chemspec every time, Ive been on several of there courses and al2ays come away feeling I have learned something and never felt ripped off !
I did the NCCA two day course in 1997 and became a member , still am today but I diddnt feel that I had learned anything new
