You don't need any strength to do the course.  The hands on is very minor it is all about learning various aspects of the cleaning & correct sealing of floors.  The hands on is only Grout Colouring, removing etching from polished nmarbles and cosmetic repairs to stone.  As long as you can operate a Mono Rotary Machine then the hands on bit is easy.

Kevin, i would like to train for Hard Floors.

I do carpets and upholstery at the moment but dont have bundles of cash to invest in loads of new kit for hard floor.

The kit i have i could utilise for hard floors are a standard speed Victor Sprite 400, an R38 Cimex (400rpm i think) and of course an extraction unit (Scorpion XPS 3 Vac)

I could get a wet pick up vacuum - if i did the course would that kit enable me to start doing hard floors before i invest in other dedicated equipment?

I have Victor Sprite 400 standard speed and have used it on hard floors with success i think the Cimex would be too fast at 400rpm.  However i'm sure Kevin will give you his views on this.  I'm still debating whether to do the course and get back into hardfloor, I have heard some very good reviews of Kevin's course. If i do go ahead although i will use the Victor to start with i would look at getting a slower speed rotary and one which is a bit heavier and i personally feel mine is a tad too fast and a bit to light weight.  You can pick up a wet and dry vac for a few hundred and will save you getting crud in your HWE machine which you should not need.

Yes that would be enough to start if you buy a wet vacuum

Your machine is fine although not optimal and as long as you have a decent wet vacuum you are fine.

Course finished last night mate!  Crying shame you couldn't make it and we had a bit of a disaster with two guys from Edinburgh whos flights were cancelled due to a suspect package in Airport on Tuesday so the Airport was shut and evacuated so they missed the course as well.  Anyway we have the Klindex Free Day Training today which most have stayed on for and we have a few coming from previous courses who had to miss the 3rd day last time.
