IICRC what have they done for you??

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.

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.

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.  

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?

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
