For a certificate, in most cases.certification class for what??
I hope nobody takes that shit seriously. Everything I've ever heard come out of there was a joke. Plus the fact that you're "certified" after a few days. Jesus.

I know they were looking to change up their curriculum, maybe they finally did, but they were advertising a 3 day class to get certified for tile inspector/substrate inspector. I've been doing this for a while and I wouldn't consider myself anywhere near an expert. I just don't know how anyone can justify a certification after a few days. It just undermines the guys that take their job seriously, because I know there are a ton of people out there using the letters next to their name to weasel their way into jobs.
There are a lot of inspectors, expert witnesses, consultants, etc. out there that aren't nearly qualified for their jobs. When there is a school that pumps these people out, it just bugs me. I'm only speaking of the stone-specific stuff, I don't know anything about the other parts. It has been a little while since I have seen what they had for their literature though, and I know they've been making a move to improve, so I could just be talking out of my ass at the moment.
well gee Brent, how about attending an event for once or coming down to So Cal for one of the Stone Pro classes.
Just curious what does everyone think is the best way to get a higher education within our industry? Should our industry just rely on the forums and you tube.. oh and facebook now?
I can see it now.. "yes sir, I can clean your stone, I watched a you tube video to show me how."
Don't you guys thinks its irresponsible to tell people to not take any IICRC class?
For stone? something like the stone pro class or MB stone here on the east coast.
The iicrc class is more of an intro to the topic then training.
The problem is always $$$$ in this industry, expect to pay $1200 or something for a couple days of training.
Well worth it over the long term, IMO.

Our instructor did the best he could with the time we had but there are people in every position in every job that aren't qualified to do what they do.. I think you can easily make it a two week course, but few would pay for it or even go.
I would think someone who gets certified is taking their job seriously.. if you're not iicrc certified then it might be a good idea if you are losing that much work to certified people.

You should take classes, but some organizations throw money at advertising and "certifications" instead of actually teaching relevant information and getting instructors in their programs that know what they are doing. The forums are a great tool to weed out the bullshit money wasters from the people that will actually help you make money.
