Qualatex do a very good course which you study at home via DVD. The tests are taken online with the final practical exam taken at a venue. Its not that expensive. Go to the Qualatex website there is a lot of information on there.

I have done the qualatex course and they are dead easy, you buy the kits watch the dvd's take notes (the more detailed the better) then take and online test, where you can refer to the notes and dvd for help. Simple.

At the end of the 3 online tests you do you go to do a final pratical exam infront of a panel, somewhere near you for me it will be cardiff. then if you pass you become a CBA (certified balloon artist) very well recognised!

You can even put the letters after your name!

Hope this helps x

I did mine at Oaktree UK, they are in Mildenhall, Suffolk. Don't know if you are near to them? It was just a basic course.
