Upcoming dates

What’s all the excitement about? Mark Kennedy explains…

3-Day Live Conference + 30 days of access to Textile Pro Online Modules

PRE-CONFERENCE CONTENT (Online Modules)

30 days prior to the event, registered attendees will receive online training module access covering various rug cleaning topics. The event in Wales is intended to take rug cleaning operations to the next level. There is an expectation that those attending will have familiarity with rug washing either through previous rug educational courses or through their actual rug cleaning experience.

If you are new in the rug cleaning craft, you will need to complete the online content prior to the conference so you have a strong understanding of the rug washing process. If you are experienced as a rug washer, the online modules are an excellent source for content review, as well as to train your newer employees.

POST CONFERENCE BENEFITS

All participants in this course will upon completion become members of the Textile Pro Network at no additional cost. You will have access to the members-only Textile Pro Facebook group page for on-going technical and business support from the community of experienced rug specialists, as well as the Textile Pro instructors and consultants.

All participants will be given a path for earning Textile Pro certification, and those with established and operating rug wash facilities (those open to the public) will be listed in the consumer referral directory. The $250 fee for the Textile Pro certification process and basic directory listing will be waived for all WoolSafe Approved Service Providers joining us in Wales.

We wanted to highlight these benefits which will extend beyond the value of this course for those who participate. Lisa has a number of regular UK inquiries from consumers who read her rug blog, as well as EU inquiries, and she would love to develop a group of qualified and caring companies to receive these rug wash jobs.

Success for us will not be a sold-out event. (Though that would of course be more than wonderful.) Success will be that a year from now we will have rug cleaning operations who can point to this July event as the one that had the biggest impact on their rug cleaning confidence, quality, and profits.

Thank you in advance those who make the decision to join us. We promise to make it a very valuable choice on your part.
