about £200 I would think most seem to be around that price point.
If you don't get a badge included I'm sure they will sell you one

I joined in 1989 as soon as I started window cleaning!!!!
No exam or assessment or anything just say you're a master window cleaner!!!!
As long as they get the money no-one seems to care too much.
