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. |

Mr. Lee, You are taxed at 45% in Canada? That makes me feel better. I thought Virginia was bad. Do you have an alternative minimum tax up there? Barry

i know we pay and pay and pay mr steamer, and we don't see much from it. it almost seems like another tax, but i think it seperates the men from the boys. in my city we have commercial clients who only hire iicrc firms.

It is great that everybody is IICRC certified. Education and experience =
$$$$$ for all. However i believe hands on training is where you learn all you class room info. Good courses show you why and how a procedure or product works or does not work. I attend approx. 20 IICRC courses a year most of them are wrt asd amrt fire & smoke & Odor and find this of the students. FIRST they say they just need the IICRC certificate for the insurance company they work for. NEXT ( if ) they have a good instructor that shows how and why a technique or product works with hands on response is WOW i learned alot of techniques i did not know. Finally if and only when hands on training is avaiable and not just a power point course response is awesome course. Now after saying all this IICRC should make sure all instructors teach awesome courses for a reasonable price! Funny thing is most of us do not like to be taken advantage of. |

Your the bigger man on the canadian block...the little man doesn't hear about this kind of stuff...plus once you've taken the course and passed why pay the dues, for a new letter that most of us never get...If I want to know more about IICRC I'll check the website...thank you very much.... Once you see IICRC is a business...YES A BUSINESS....and they are really not here to better the carpet cleaning world....yes that might happen along the way...but IICRC's purpose is to make money I'll probally get kicked for that ...but it's the truth...and the truth shall set you free |

Carpetologist ...no one said ignorance...I always preach training and experience...If you gave a Kleen kuip Certification I would take it.... But I just can't help feeling disgust once a year when I have to send my dues to IICRC for nothing...this is the last year anyways.... Carpetologist do your classes ...give the training I'm all for that...but really make your students learn 200-600 bucks for a two day course I think thats unreasonable...where the instructor is just spoon feeding you the right information to high light and remember...naw naw I don't buy that...there is really no hands on...naw naw... A guy like me is bad for the business..I feel that the carpet cleaner gets it from all sides..... * you get it from your peers(you need to be certified)(cut throat pricing) * you get it from the suppliers(once it has anything to do with carpet cleaning it cost a fortune) * you get from the service repair men * you get it from the customer There alot of money to be mad and even more to be spent...and if you don't watch your bottom line you'll go broke......so one has to take steps to cut cost... Don't be affraid to think out the box |

One of the reasons why I like to keep my registration fees and dues paid up (re-IICRC) etc. is for the extreme educational value that courses, meetings and conventions offer me not to mention rubbing shoulders with people smarter than I am. If you think education is expensive try ignorance. |
