Book yourself onto the NCCA two day training course on the 25th/26th November...then you will have a good basic knowledge of exactly what you are setting out to do
Contact the NCCA on...

Hi Guys,
The one in Royston is Alltec run by Paul Pearce to IICRC standards which makes you eligable to join the NCCA , as does the NCCA one.
Prochem does not but many say it is a good course.
There are several others.
I would like to see a standardisation of courses so all lead to eligability to join the NCCA.
A day spent with a CC will show you whether you like this type of work , it is not for everyone.
You may find a CC out of your area is more prepared to help.
Cheers,
Doug

You won't learn everthing you need to know in a day, but at least, as Doug says, you will be more able to tell whether it's going to be for you or not, before committing any cash. That's what I did, and don't regret it for a minute (Thanks again Trev' ;))
NCCA/IICRC and Prochem courses are all good. I've done all three, and would say do the Prochem course first, as there is a bit more hands on and practical demo's.
If you have a look on e-bay regularly you may spot a Prochem training course voucher up for grabs for 50 odd quid, or less if you're lucky. Just put 'Prochem' in the search box. This will get you a one day course. Buy two, and you can use them for the 2 day course (better), for prob' less than 100 quid. The cost of a 2 day course bought direct from Prochem would cost you almost £225 inc VAT.
The reason you see them on e-bay from time to time is because Prochem give away a one day course voucher when you buy a new machine, so people that don't need the training just sell it on e-bay. Prochem know this happens and don't mind. They are very accommodating.
Don't forget though that the Prochem 2 day course is Carpet only (not Upholstery) but Carpet and Upholstery together over two days (NCCA) is a lot to take in for a newbie.
Good luck.
Regards
