Facebook Groups

We have two members-only Facebook groups: NCCA Members and the NCCA Corporate Members - Advice Forum.

We encourage members to use the NCCA Corporate Members - Advice Forum to discuss industry-related products, machinery, training and more. This is a forum where Members can ask questions regarding processes and products, and multiple Corporate Members can openly engage and respond to brand specific questions.

Corporate Members may also advertise directly to NCCA members once a week. If you have any issues please contact Dave Wheadon or Allan Simmons

Technical Advice

The NCCA Directors have been involved in the carpet & upholstery cleaning industry for many years and are on hand to offer free advice, answer questions and generally assist with any cleaning related problems. As the Directors are not based in the NCCA Office, please complete our technical enquiry form.

The NCCA can take payments for merchandise, training courses, subscription fees and any other ad-hoc payments by:

Providing Samples/ Marketing Materials

We are happy to distribute any literature, brochures or samples you would like to arrange for our course delegates.

The office sends regular emails (Subject: "Promote your company at the next NCCA Training Course") to all Corporate Members ahead of upcoming courses.

We ask that you arrange delivery to our office (in advance of the course date) or arrange shipment to the course venue for the morning of the course (not before).

Hosting an NCCA Training Course or Regional Meeting

Thank you to many of our Corporate Members who have given up their facility and provided hospitality for various NCCA training courses and regional meetings. Please contact the office if you would like to host an upcoming course or meeting.

Becoming an Equivalent Training Provider

The first and most important requirement of NCCA membership is training. All applicants must undertake at least an entry-level training course in professional carpet and upholstery cleaning, and achieve the standard pass mark in the examination which follows.

The simplest way to qualify is to complete the NCCA's Professional Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Course.

Applicants may also qualify for NCCA membership if they undertake training and relevant examination with one of the following organisations:

  • IICRC
  • Alltec Network
  • Prochem Europe
  • Solution Cornwall
  • Franchisees of ChemDry, Rainbow International or Safeclean
    Can bypass attending the NCCA course and request an examination to complete.

Corporate Members that provide training in professional carpet and upholstery cleaning may apply to become an equivalent training provider. This provides the option to include the NCCA examination at the end of accepted courses, allowing delegates to become eligible for NCCA membership after completing Corporate training. Various requirements need to be met to qualify, so please contact the office for more information.

Annual Exhibition

The NCCA hosts an annual exhibition with opportunities and discounts for Corporate Members. This year's Carpet Cleaning Exhibition is being held in association with The WCP Cleaning Show 2018. Please visit our dedicated page for more information and booking options.
