Adwa, my daughter HAS taken some classes, the problem is this, the instructors are so HWE biased that she learned little from the class. IN the video the instructor showed there was a short segment on our machine, The instructor just pointed to the screen and said, "well we don't have time for that one" and went on, BIG MISTAKE, after 45 minutes my daughter was done with him..LOL

So limited info is given and helpful for our method, you know, this sounds funny but HWE guys HAVE to be smarter, we don't have the need for near the chems or education you do just to do an equal or better job. This is not a slam, it is just the physics of the method and machine movement. So much of what HWE's learn is how to get their chems to clean, whereas with OP, the agitation makes most ANY CHEMICAL do a great job.

Let's get this straight Mr. Steamer. I do not work for the IICRC. There is nothing wrong with believing in bettering yourself and that can be done through education!

Padman we are constantly telling our children that you can't get any were today without education. Why stop at this industry. Tell her to take some IICRC courses and let her form her own option about what see thinks see got from them. The education she learns will open doors for her. The young women today are very smart, and I'm sure you are proud of her.   Other than education, work ethic is also the most important aspect to one's career.

If Briana has both, she will succeed on her own and it will be then that she can take the dress she wrapped around Jock's neck off and take her family out to dinner knowing that she and only she provided this for them.

I have yet to be certified, now that is NOT to say I haven't taken any classes, I have, but to pay for certification and then to continue to pay for a certificate is kind of like saying, forgot what he learned so if you pay yearly, then you remember better..

 

I am all for the IICRC for those who reap from it, and respect the many that put a lot of time and effort into it, but it is NOT for everyone.

Now, my daughter, Briana 22 runs my cleaning truck by herself and I will get her certified, it is a different era and it might be of importance to her.

Wow I had to check to see if I was Certified. But Yes Yes I am.  I think it's nice to be able to show off your certification to the customer.  Make them aware.

You guys need to stop fighting against IICRC and join them.  They are raising the level of carpet cleaning in US and Canada,  for all us real carpet cleaners.  The more people become aware the better it will be for all certified Tech's.

We need to improve this industry and IICRC is the start.  It will come a day when all customers will only call IICRC certified companies.  But it's up to us as representatives of IICRC to let the customers know.

So some of you who don't want to pay the dues will be left in the cold when the door finally shuts.

When Ted talks............everybody listens

Listen what the man says

General.....you must be the carpet cleaners industry angel

I heard if a man can see far enough he will be looking at the back of his own head

Look around General, there's more to see, the world is a beautiful place, God created the green grass, marvel at that.

I assume your dues go to keep things in operation over at the IICRC.

dues aren't all that big of a deal.

I'm just not sure why the courses cost so much.

I worked my first year in this industry with 0 certification and did fine.

after becoming certified I did feel I understood more about the chemistry of things, and could better explain to the customers why the carpet turned brown after the last guy cleaned it etc. but I didn't really clean any better.

I do have some commercial work where they insist on me being certified.

 

Education is good in any field IMO,I hope to see the IICRC around for a long time.
