I agree with you on that, but i dont thing a qualification is needed but thats my opinion and you entiltled to yours. But i still stand by what i said people that run the impact courses make me laugh all they are doing is getting rich by goverment grants and sit the telling every one that every thing is against health and safety but the proberley go out and break the rules. Dont forget to close the whole road just incase your pole breaks and the brush falls and hits a wall then bounces up in to a window and kills some one wont you

Yes I was on about this a while ago , I can't see how you can go wrong £2.65 an hour full time even send him canvassing all he needs is 1 job a day to break even ,

No, that's ruddy slave labour.
Totally agree it is slave labour!!!! you should be ashamed crystal clear people like you will always keep people

I know That's the main reson why I haven't looked into it I would have to pay more then thAt , I just got of the phone to them they make it sound really interesting , they go 1 day a week to collage and 4 days to you but you have to pay them for that day in collage too and a minimum of 30 hours a week, one of the problems is as most will be young they may not have a driving licence
Driving licence ??? Christ wot do you want for £2.65 ph !!!!

Ive done an apprenticeship course, not in window cleaning but the idea is that the company gets you to work for cheap and you go to college maybe 1 day a week to learn something relevant to window cleaning or whatever your doing, you could probs send them to college for some kind of trade like plastering or something and say its a property maintenance apprenticeship. This is how I see companies do it all the time, when I was 16 earning £100 a week on £2.60 per hour that was loads for me.
