New Year, New Career?? If you’re fed up with your current job or looking for a career change the Cleaning Industry offers many opportunities. I entered the cleaning industry as I wanted a lifestyle change after my son was born, I wanted the flexibility of being my own boss so I could attend school sports days, watch him play football, rugby or attend special events. People will start their own cleaning business for a variety of reasons, but whatever your reasons I can’t stress enough the importance of appropriate Cleaning Industry Training.
SleepHaven offers a range of Internal and External Cleaning Services and has over 16 years of experience in the cleaning industry, during that time I have taken numerous courses in Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, External Cleaning and now assist the Team at SkyVac with their training courses in external cleaning. If you’re thinking of joining the Cleaning Industry here are some recommendations of where to attend.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
I started with some excellent hands-on carpet cleaning courses at Alltec where I also purchased some of my equipment to start my cleaning business and continue to buy from them now. I continued with a variety of courses including Advanced Spot & Stain Removal which were recognised by or taken with the National Carpet Cleaners Association (NCCA). As a professional cleaning company it is essential to have the appropriate training and accreditations recognised by governing bodies, this gives your customers confidence and peace of mind.
External Cleaning with SkyVac
Having my own business I have either self-taught or trained with various types of equipment or attended company courses. I now assist with Group Training at Skyvac where new start-up or existing cleaning companies can get an introduction to external cleaning and the potential opportunities. As well as hands-on training in Gutter Cleaning, Pressure Washing, UPVC Cleaning etc attendees get tips on marketing and the essentials to start up their own business. This is a great course to get you on your way, refresh or learn new skills!
Roof Cleaning has become a lucrative business and is in demand, Skyvac now provides a specific roof cleaning course which is the UK’s only CPD and Lantra-accredited course. This course is ideal for someone starting out or for those who wish to add another service to their existing cleaning business. I would highly recommend this course, to find out more or to book this course go to the Link Roof Cleaning.
