On the basis that you are new to the industry - very helpful.

As your web site can't be found I don't know where you are. Scotland is a country not a town and covers a considerable area.

There's a one day " hands on " course near St Andrews which is on a one to one basis and will give you a good opportunity to use the tools and discuss the use of chemicals, etc.

ncca course was good but so was the one at cleansmart , in fact i think that the content of both courses was more or less the same though if you are considering buying a new machine you will usally get a training course for free from most suppliers whereas the ncca course will cost you about £330 and that money could be going towards your new machine. if you want to join the ncca then you have to do their course at some point anyway.

I've not done the NCCA course, but from what I have heard it isn't very "hands on."

As some have already said a lot of companies offer free training if you buy a machine from them.

As I understand it, you are after an Ashbys Ninja. If that's what you have your heart set on, then maybe a course run by Ashbys might be an idea. They do a hands on 1 day course for about £80 I think but it's a very long way to travel if you are in Scotland.

Even so, I would still do the NCCA course at some point.

The NCCA course is very good and the tutors A1, but I would say better for those with at least a basic understanding of some of the machinery / concepts.

Alltec run a hands on course (IICRC i think) which isn't bad and is much more suitable to anyone with a lack of knowledge / experience.

Do a hands on then do the NCCA or more in depth IICRC.

Paul Pearce was at all three of these courses when I attended and he is a fountain of knowledge.

I personally did the NCCA first but had enough prior knowledge to get me through. There were a few on the course that had a look of a rabbit in headlights and probably left feeling more confused than before they came.

The ncca and Prochem are the only courses I have attended for carpet cleaning, both of them are very good and well worth the £'s
