As i understand it if you become an a1 assessor you can then automatically become an internal verifier if you are a director of the company suppling the trade that you are training in. I am doing A1 assessor at the moment so maybe i could give training/assessment in future.

Many thanks for your good wishes.

I am very pleased that the generel feedback I've seen so far has been positive, and that you all seem to like the magazine.

I am also encouraged by some comments from members here and other forums.  All of this highlights the fact that our industry is becomming more professional, and values resources that help to move things forward.

I notice some haven't yet got their copy of the magazine - don't worry, it is on its way to you.  Whenever you 'bulk' mail anything, it tends to be done in batches and therefore delivery times can vary quite a bit.  Frustrating, I know, but you should have it very soon.  (Having dealt with the royal mail quite a bit lately, frustration is now something I'm getting used to)

When you have had a chance to read the magazine, and decide f you like it or not, please do email me with your comments.  I have had some very good suggestions so far for future issues, some of which I will definately be taking up, eg:

-A letters page
-A problems page

Keep your suggestions coming (by email I mean, not on the forum) remember this is your industry, and the magazine's job is to provide information that you are interested in.

If you do like the magazine and want to see it continue, then I ask you to give me the support I need by subscribing.  I'm sure I don't need to explain how a resource like PWC will only be a success if it is properly supported.  I think we really do need a publication for our industry, and I am prepared to continue to research and publish articles for as long as get the support I need from you window cleaners in the industry.  What a shame it would be for the industry if a new initative like this couldn't continue because of lack of support.  But I feel sure that there are enough window cleaners with a professional attitude to make it a success.

Once again, thank you for your encouraging words, and I really do hope you enjoy the magazine for a long time to come.

Am still waiting for my copy...............

I gave my details on line  - I hope it went through ok.

It would be just my luck that mine was the one that went wrong.

But ... I am an optomist ... I think... but there again, I'm not sure.

I'm also decisive, I think.
