The British Window Cleaning Academy

Professional Training and Accreditation For UK Window Cleaners. There are about 180,000 window cleaners in the UK who service industrial, commercial and residential clients. The work of a window cleaner has become increasingly complex in recent years, due in large part to tighter regulation, better equipment and the adoption of specialist techniques (such as abseiling, powered access and waterfed poles). The British Window Cleaning Academy was founded in 1997 in answer to the training need for professional window cleaners at all levels. The aim has been, not only to enable individual companies to improve their skills, but also to raise the level of professionalism within the industry.
