IICRC what have they done for you??

we have lost sight of my question...What do they do for my dues?????can anyone answer that.............????

I want to know what happens to my dues.....I don't get anything for them.

again what do I get for my DUES?

Boy oh boy, Mr Nightrider.

I bet you think I'm some sort of nerd with aplastic pen holder eh?

I grew up in the West End of Montreal. We are unique people and proud of it.Ask the people at Kleen Kuip what kind of person I am, you might be surprised.

In this business I have fried my liver further. Developed mould allergies. Have severe sinus problems (likely from overuse of enzymes), had chemical pneumonia.

You think that there is no work in writing an exam?? You are nuts.

You think this health and safety course is useless? You've got to be kidding.

Are you WHMIS trained? Are your employees? If not you are breaking the law.

The law is there to protect people. Wake up and smell the coffee buddy.

I do this work, because of a love for the industry. I spend a fortune on documents and long distance ,  and don't get reimbursed. If you want to slam me  for that go ahead. I don't expect kudos. I just don't know how else to tell people like you that there are a lot of people out there giving selflessly for the common good. THERE IS CERTAINLY NO MONEY IN IT FOR ME.

So go ahead, take your shots, at least you can release your pent up aggravations. FEEL BETTER. Yes I do.

General Lee, before i say what I want to say....can you please let Mr. Steamer where all his dues went to.....he donated.....got nothing in return.....Steamer did they send you a Christmas card at least. please tell me.

Now to you General.    No I am not WHMIS Trained you know why because I don't have to go into a sewer to know it stinks.....but thanks for asking.

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.

Don't go sour on my buddy the General Lee. I know of no one in our industry who does more volenteer time at no pay and many times no Thanks to better our industry. Hats off and long live the General. Keep Up The Good Work Lee!

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.
