Hi Jason, do you have a number I could contact you on?

I'm from Impact43 who specialise in Window Cleaning Training.

The BWCA is well worth doing as it gives you a really good understanding of the systems you will use.

Hi there i have been on the water fed pole course at Swindon and would recommend it as once you have done the course you become a member of the bwca for 1 year so worth while also they go into detail about pure water so you will learn.

also well worth speaking to Jake at impact43 i am currently doing an nvq with them so if you are just starting out well worth it

Thanks Mark. Nice to hear you having a good time.

Also, Jason, we have a the above course in Bristol soon, worth giving me a call about

Waste of time and Money

Get out and practise cleaning windows, it is not rocket science.

really worth doing, even if just to learn how to produce pure water. Do all the training on offer, as the market place gets harder especially commercial if you got a nvq qualification you have an advantage. Most of the training is around heath and safety and the laws surrounding contract work.

Seriously ?

Connect RO or DI and place pipe in tank, turn on tap ?

For me the WFP training was awful, it was basically a sales taik. However the trad skills was useful
and the training was much better.

Go out with a local WC and see if he will train you

I went on the WFP course & you learn some things, but basically it was just a sales pitch for Ionics.
It's only their systems & kit on show & they are all top end purchases, when most will want to start up at a lower level.
It will cost you around £200 for the course & hotel stay for one night.

I went on the BWCA (aka Ionics) WFP course a few years ago.  I did learn bits from it because I had only been poling a couple of weeks (trad for 14 years before that) and getting it all set up was still doing my head in.
Although there wasn't a direct sales push for (from) Ionics, there did seem to be a certain amount of less blatant stuff going on.
The methods and tools that they presented were everything that Ionics happen to sell - even down to brush types.  However, in fairness, you could hardly expect BWCA to use equipment and show methods that are better catered for by companies other than their parent/partner company (they may be officially unlinked but I think there were some shared staff at that time - not certain of this though).

Thanks for calling Jason. Pleased we could arrange the courses for you. See you in Bristol!

not if you have an ionic system. The course teaches you how to protect your ro with all the pre filters, and to try and get your water production tds and waste down as low as possible before your di.
