If you want my advice  keep your money in the pocket. i went to one of these 1 day course. amd it all about pushing you to buy their products etc etc.  go and find out who in your area that has  a good name on Softwashing and spent a day with him. your saying 170 odd right away. i went to see if i would learn any more  than watching  stuff i  seen on  U tube. and to be honest  no... other guys may  say different.  .  ask around you will find guys who will help you  and let you go and spent the day doing softwashing ..

Hi Smurk
 im very sorry i copy and paste  the wrong Softwash company, .  they give you all the sales chat about working as a  team etc   end of day its al about selling their stuff.. most of the time i use hypo now,  any of my clients that going to spend big money wants to see the  results that day before you leave not in 5 /14 days times,, i know all about the danger of hypo and the cons etc,, if you use it in the right manner .. well its hell lot cheaper than the chems these guys are selling , softwashing  hitting the roof at moment and these guys see the market..  you can learn loads of U tube  .

Smurf  you mean not "Smurk" ;D ;D

I'm quite suprised after you attending that course that you felt it was a total waste of money and did not learn anything you did not know already. Is that what you are saying?

Opss sorry was rushing this morning,   well i did not learn any thing that i could not get off U tube, unless you havent gota  brain cell and cant work things out then the course will be great for you..  if you the kind of person that can pick things up easy and  store the info . then just go out on a day with a guy. there plenty around the uk. and the money u save that can go towards the tools you need..  as i said before guys may learn from it. i started out knowing nothing and watched  u tube and send the odd message to guys. . but they were lot off chat about these courses and i was wondering  am i missing out.. you get a cert end of day to only prove you sat in a course. some may think wow that will help me to get work.. hmmmm
the bottom line is  take your time ask around before your throwing money away.. you can great great info and all the help you need with out spendng cash

Must admit I was tempted to book on that course but now you have put me right off it for now.
At least you have a cert to say you're a softwash pro now unlike me lol

I see on bookfarce pages the Luton training date rhinoman has taken nearly all the places for all his staff to attend.  ::)roll
