Requirements to attend a Maid Training course
The Polo & Tweed Maid training courses are open for everyone, from all backgrounds and experiences. The 3 day group courses are a great way to get an overall and very detailed training into all aspects of housekeeping and Maid skills. If you are looking for more specific, or combined training, a tailor made course or private training is the perfect way to select, pick and mix modules. This way you will be solely focused on exactly the modules you need and would like to be taught, as some others might not be relevant for you.
You do not have to have any background or experience as a Maid to join the courses – the training groups are kept small so the trainer will have time to go over basics with people who need to, and provide more advanced skill for those who do.
Polo & Tweed run regular training throughout the year where we welcome students of all levels and backgrounds to join us for intensive weekends.
