Title: training course or on the job training
Post by: gary mcd on March 08, 2011, 02:52:30 pm

Hi,

Which way is best for learning the window cleaning trade? on the job training or a training course such as that offered by BWCA. Want to start off with trad w/c, then maybe go on to wfp.

Any advice on this matter would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Gary,

Kind regards,

money no problem then course and a bit of on the job.

no money then on job it has to be.

most new wcs go straight into wfp and it makes me laugh when they cant do trad method.

i feel its important to have a good understanding of the trad method - even if its just for internal glass.

Makes sense, think I'll do both as suggested, do a course then after that, try and get some on the job training if poss.

Cheers Guys.
