Going by their site the last courses where held in 2014 and no further course dates have been listed so either the site has not been updated or they are no longer in business.

I thought funding had been pulled for this, so they packed up ?

That makes sense and your probably right smudger.

I suppose if that is the case then they only reason why they keep the site up is maybe for the directory of cleaners already taken the courses. Or they are hoping the gov funding will be resumed at some point. Who know?

I wondering if they still offer the courses to individuals/firms for free that buy/lease ionic new van mounts as is actually owned by Ionic.

Maybe Lee Proyer could answer that one?

What course are you looking for

FWC do health and safety IOSH accredited

Free courses were only done for QCF / NVQ standards

Hi Bryan.
Was hoping to do the marketing course.
I have done the trad course and the wfp course and learnt so much from Craig.
Did the city and guilds with another company.
Pity if its packed up. The guy has so much knowledge and was good to spend the day with other window cleaners.
