If you really want to do a course the BWCA (british window cleaning academy) (Ionics) do 1 day courses in Swindon or try and find a local window cleaner to you who you can work with for a few weeks and learn on the job that way. Good luck  ;)

only trouble if you go with someone local is they might be doing it wrong, or view you as competition so id suggest finding a friend , or if not, bwca

But if you are motivated enough, read and read and ask q's on here and you will find most things out free

just try decipher the good from bad though if you can!

going to disagree with some of the lads on here ... I did a 1 day at BWCA (Ionics) for WFP and another for Trad before I started .... was helpful and IMHO money well spent ... not much of a sales pitch neither. .... then I would go with another cleaner for a few days "on the job training" for real world experiance.
