I've done about 15 courses now in 5 years, love learning and love the confidence it brings when your in front of a customer, every time i do a course my prices go up a bit, not to help pay for the course fee's (all though they do) but because the confidence a good course brings makes you sell your services better. latest course was the nulife stone course and definitely the most enjoyable I've been on, would highly recommend.

Interesting! If you don't mind me asking In what way was it the most enjoyable over other courses you have done?  Very interested because I thought you also enjoyed the course you organised in the Flood School which by the way I thoroughly enjoyed as well and the follow on ASD Course I did after that one!

the flood school was brilliantly taught but behind a desk for 3 days was for me a nightmare, hate sitting at a desk, rather be doing it than reading it, the nulife course is 90% hands on doing it, and i personally learn better that way, plus me and billy russel went head to head in a shine battle and i won so how could i not say it was the best course i've ever done. just got my first big job from it.

Derek / Norbert,

Sorry for delay been away a few days, the Ultimate-Floorcare website is one we started mainly for the cleaning of Amtico and the sales of Amtico product when we were asked to become the main maintenance contractor in Ireland. This website is being completely re-vamped and will look totally different probably by the end of this month, it will contain details on the training course.

Our floor sanding site is www.ultimatefloorsanding.co.uk. This site is for customers in the UK looking for floor sanding contractors (.com for Ireland) and has contact details for our Affiliates who have been trained by us and use our products. This site needs updating but is so successful at what it does that we cannot change too much.

Terry

You probably mean a Gloss Meter do you?   What reflective angle did you both measure at?  Can you remember the readings???

Only joking guys about angles I sure you were both horizontal the night before ;D  Buts that what courses are all about lots of fun and some learning.  Glad you both had a good time and good luck with your impending job Derek!  What sort of stone is it by the way?  Can we see some befores and afters when you do it?
