Title: B.W.C.A WFP2. Worth it?
Post by: [GQC] Tim on January 09, 2008, 08:30:05 pm

Is it worth it to take a days training in wfp over at the BWCA? I'm seriously thinking about this because I like what the training consists of.

Has anyone done the wfp training? :)

£125 ex VAT, bit expensive, but worth it if it's really proper training I reckon?

I've been on it and it was worth it, price has gone up though ???

The only downside it was mostly theory and not much hands on.

see if you can have a day out with some1 who using a WFP system

who cares about the theory side of it

i dont care how i make "pure water" ( i do know how its done though )

you just want some1 to explain it a little and let you have a go on your house with it

Yea, I do know one or two with a system, they aren't friend, but aquintances more like it, I'll ask them for a day along I guess.

This forum is so valuable you know, yes it might take a bit longer then a day, but you do get a lot of tips. :)

I went on that course in the summer.  I also took some picttures

I think i put a post on about it...found it.  Here have a look, photos on here too.

I found it good.  It was also very good to finally speak to some like minded other window cleaners, that was a big boon.  Also got joined up to that clearchoice card membership.  Worth the hundred quid in my humble opinion, but its up to you

Judging from TennetClean's post in the other thread, and the positive feedback in there, I think I might give it a go. :)

The Free Clearchoice membership does a nice job aswell ofcourse.
