About the BWCA

The British Window Cleaning Academy (BWCA) was established in 1997 to address the growing need for professional training within the window cleaning industry in the UK. The BWCA was founded by Craig Mawlam, a seasoned expert in the window cleaning field. His pioneering efforts, particularly the development of the Reach & Wash® system, were instrumental in advancing modern window cleaning techniques.

The academy’s mission has always been to elevate the standards of professionalism and safety within the industry. By providing comprehensive training courses, the BWCA equips window cleaners with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate effectively and safely in an increasingly regulated environment. These courses cover a wide range of topics, from basic window cleaning techniques to advanced methods like soft washing and roof cleaning.

Today, the BWCA continues to be a leading authority in window cleaning education, offering a variety of courses aimed at helping both beginners and seasoned professionals enhance their skills and grow their businesses.
