These are just a few screen shots from an NVQ qualified chimney sweep.
This is a perfect example of not sealing appliances with due care and attention. Respect for COSHH is certainly not being considered with any acceptable standard. We certainly hope he’s being monitored by someone, and guided on correct procedure in future.

Another first from the Chimney Sweep Academy...
At the Chimney Sweep Academy, we've always believed that training provision should continue to evolve.
We were the first to have qualified teachers and assessors.
The first to use social platforms for support.
The first make and sell our own purpose built equipment.
The first to have our very own app for issuing job completion certificates.
Now, we're proud to announce that we are now developing an interactive online training portal that will bring professional chimney sweep education directly to your phone, tablet or computer.
Now you can do your theory training in the comfort of your own home.
Designed to support both new and experienced chimney sweeps, the portal will provide structured, engaging learning that can be completed wherever and whenever it suits you. Practical training and assessment can be carried out at our centres, or learners can join our registered sweeps on a training day. This to be within a reasonable driving distance.
The platform is being developed to include:
Interactive theory-based training
Professional video lessons
Step-by-step learning modules
Progress tracking
Supporting course materials
Training suitable for Certification / approval, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and formal qualifications
Our aim is simple: to make high-quality training more accessible, more flexible and easier to fit around the demands of everyday working life.
Whether you're taking your first steps into the profession, maintaining your knowledge through CPD, or working towards recognised qualifications, the Chimney Sweep Academy is committed to delivering modern training that reflects the needs of today's industry.
This is another exciting step forward in our ongoing commitment to raising professional standards and investing in the future of chimney sweeping.
Watch this space... we're only just getting started.

The benefits of being a Chimney Sweep Academy member?

The simple answer is... far more than just a certification.

The Academy was created with one goal in mind: to be far more affordable, support new and existing chimney sweeps and make running your business easier and more professional.

Established by the trade's first qualified teacher, assessor and verifier.

Also the first chimney sweep association to have its own purpose-built digital app.

As a member, you benefit from:

✅ Professional branded digital sweeping certificates.

✅ The lowest combined membership and digital certificate app fees in the UK.

✅ Valuable support and guidance with customer issues, if ever required.

✅ Ongoing technical advice and support whenever you need it.

✅ Access to updates in line with any proposed industry changes.

✅ Professional recognition that demonstrates your commitment to high standards.

✅ A growing range of member-only resources designed to help your business succeed.

✅ An organisation that continually reinvests in improving the services available to members.

✅ Access to the very best quality chimney sweeping equipment at discounted prices.

We're constantly looking at ways to improve what membership offers.

We're currently exploring a major expansion of the Chimney Sweep Certs app that could eventually provide members with an all-in-one business management system, including customer records, reminders, scheduling, invoicing, payments, photos, reporting and much more.

Our aim isn't simply to keep up with the industry—it's to provide our members with tools that genuinely help them save time, look more professional and grow their businesses.

Most importantly, the Academy has always been built around one principle:

Members come first.

Every decision we make is based on one question:

"Will this genuinely benefit our members?" Then we hold a vote.

If the answer is yes, we'll always do everything we can to make it happen.

We're excited about what's coming next and, as always, we'd love to hear your ideas. After all, the Academy is here to support you.
