Phil Jones introduces their Prochem training course to delegates at Birmingham City FC. Next up – the practical work …

When it comes to learning a trade, you can’t beat practical experience. That was the opinion of the majority of delegates polled at Prochem Europe’s recently-held 1-Day Carpet Cleaning Course in Birmingham.

Britain’s second city’s St. Andrew’s stadium – home to Birmingham City FC – drew a good number of cleaning professionals, so much so that the Ground had to upgrade the event to a larger venue on site.

“We had candidates attending from as a far afield as south and north Wales, Northamptonshire, the Midlands and Derbyshire,” reports Prochem sales manager Phil Jones. “Their cleaning interests were equally diverse spanning trains, healthcare, hotels as well as the carpet and upholstery cleaners we look forward to welcoming to these events.”

Brian Howard from Clear & Clean Window Cleaning of Rushden sent colleague Mark Chantry on the course. “He gave it the thumbs-up,” says Brian. “Mark felt he learned a lot over the day. We know Prochem of old as we also clean carpets and use Odour Neutraliser regularly to freshen-up communal areas after cleaning them. I’ve always rated it.”

This latest Prochem regional course ran extremely smoothly, confirms Phil, with everyone attending thoroughly enjoying the day (and some great food courtesy of BCFC!)

“Looking at the feedback forms after the event, it is clear our students prefer visual, practical demonstrations to classroom teaching,” he adds.

“Many people learn better through visual stimulation rather than conversation and three students who came that day have re-booked with Prochem for further training.”

“All in all, the course was great success – just a shame the venue wasn’t overlooking the pitch!”

Prochem regularly holds regional courses away from its Chessington, Surrey training academy due to the high demand for places. The next course is in Manchester this October – check out the Prochem website for further details and book a place now!
