I recently completed the HETAS Servicing and Maintenance 5 Year Refresher Course and as previously have the certificate to prove it! It was a day long course completed at the H Firkins Training Centre in Milton Keynes and there were 7 other chimney sweeps undertaking the course along with myself. The course was course as others I have attended was delivered by the excellent Josh Firkins, whose clear concise explanations and extensive knowledge make these courses a pleasure to attend. The course was packed with lots of interesting material and there is always something new to learn. The Firkins Training Centre is a comfortable environment to learn in and has a wide arrange of appliances and mockups to learn on. The course is delivered in a relaxed convivial way which is in my view the best way to learn. I would highly recommend Firkins courses to other sweeps.
