I did the (free) NVQ when it was happening down my way. It was definitely more about H & S. I learned a little from it and it was nice to have it confirmed that my H & S was up to scratch. The bit I did learn from it is unlikely to help much as it's unlikely I will be on those sort of jobs. However, someone very new to window cleaning would probably benefit more in adapting to safer working.
Not knocking it. If it got someone thinking about their working methods and caused them to make a couple of changes to be safer then I reckon it's worthwhile.
Hi Paul, thanks for the post, hope you are well, I must say that the course has changed quite a lot since you completed the certification, I would like to think we have made quite a few improvements for the better and what's interesting is the main part of your post and that for someone with your experience its more about refreshing and confirming knowledge, certificating and providing evidence of competency.
It's a shame some of the anti Impact and anti training brigade don't give it a try, at present it's like having a view or critic on a film without even seeing it,
All the best Paul, regards Andy
