out of interest, do people who've been carpet cleaning for a while and already had training still go on these courses or is just beginners?. i ask because i've half read people that i thought had experience say they were doing x y and z course which i'm sure one was ncca but i haven't seen a course for just experienced carpet cleaners.

shame it's so far away as would love to have gone and instead have chosen to try book prochem as it's far closer

I went on the "standard" NCCA course after 16 years of carpet cleaning, and their were 2 others on the course been carpet cleaning longer. Half of the class of 24 were experianced c/cleaners as opposed to newbies.
You still learn a lot and get refreshed on what you forgot.

i have over 20 years exp, and i took the prochem course last year and found it very good, also going to ncca in couple weeks, u can never learn enough if u want to keep at the top of your game as a proffessional carpet cleaner. As the old saying goes u learn something new every day . mallie.

First did the NCCA carpet & upholstery course back in 1985, done it a couple of times since, also done the spot & stain removal course a couple of times and done other courses at Prochem, Alltec, Amtech and with Chemspec.  Often it's the chatting time with other CC'c that you gain the most from.

It was a real pleasure to meet all new faces male and female at the course, beginers like myself and those that have alot of experience in cc. I gained alot from it! and really really enjoyed it. Paul and Pawlo are great guys with lots of very sound knowledge to offer all and are a credit to the ncca. They both conducted the course in a professional but funny and witty manner, this is how all learning should be. It was a privilege to chat and ask questions in such a relaxed atmosphere. It was well worth the money. I would highly recommend the ncca course to anybody that is considering attending.

The only downfall for me was the bar shut way to early

i agree with everything westy said but fortunately as i was staying at a nearby hotel that bar was open when i got back.

   you could have left me some of that wine you took back, I ended up with a warm bottle of vimto after I realised the bar had shut, nearly resorted to adding a bit of aftershave to it cause it was all I had . Nice to meet you mate!

[JAMIE BILES]

fingers crossed for thurs results guys.how do you think you did.also agree with manner in which training was carried out.if just a portion of paul or pab's enthusiam for industry rubs off then think we will all be onto a winner,especially if we can carry that knowledge and interest through customers door.

[creighton foyle]

westy drank both bottles on site, went on to the glenmorange at the hotel, had a bit of a thick head this morning but soldiered through. nice to meet you too and all the other guys, i am sure we will get together periodically over the coming years

[creighton foyle]

just for future reference guys (and for those who contributed to the early part of this thread), i think about half the people attending the course stayed on site and i think they all thought the accomodation was adequate. for my part the food was excellent quality freshly prepared home cooking. i spent the night at the bar and had a taxi back to my hotel when the bar closed and if i ever go back for another training course if i was staying for just one night i would stay on site but if it was for two nights at their current prices i would use a different hotel.
