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.

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. 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. |

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!

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. |

Adwa you won't get it taking some dumb course.....grab a OP machine...Grab a wand...get out there and work...it's the only way your truly going to get educated.. IICRC courses give you the back ground information...the, why this happens, and the why that happens, it shows you the chemistry behind the cleaning....this is info you could easy find for yourself right here on the net...right here in this forum....if your going to clean an olefin carpet...just punch it in to your search screen...the factorys always give you the do's and don't right here on the web... IICRC is nothing special...information is everywhere if you want to look for it...you made it here didn't you |

Lee: I commend you on your vigorus defence of thr IICRC. When I first became part of IICRC it was the IICUC but with all the diversifiaation into the restoration and inspection fields the name was changed. I stiill rember Jeff Bishop as a ISCT convention is Ohio calling it IICRC everyone in the crowd thought he forgot his speach. This was a long time ago in a galaxay far far away. I can even remember the time when some thought the OPCCA certifiacation was better than the IICUC certification. In that time I attended most of my seminars in the US and still do. One of the greatest feelings leaving a seminar in the fact that even if you didn't learn anything new, but just realized that you are doing what you do right was enought for me. Some say on the job training is all you need and experience I am sorry but I have to disagree. I know people who know no more now than they did 15 years ago. Guess what? They don't need to attend seminars how stupid can someone be? Because if they did it it has to be right. Sort of a Wayne's world approch. After reading some of the posts I had to get my 2 cents worth in and they maybe all it is worth. But a phobia for knowledge cannot be a good thing. These opinions are the writers and I hope I have not offended anyone. I may be a little one sided as I am a IICRC Regional Supervisor along with a few other things certifications I mean.
