I’m totally incapable of working for someone other than myself.

It would take a special company or individual to coax me out of being selfemployed

I could be tempted by the iicrc. Maybe ceo or something.

That's pretty comprehensive. Probably too much info for the average customer.

I only suggest it to the nerdier or compulsive types

The IICRC is the Yellow Pages trying to “keep up” with Angie’s List and Home Advisor. Whilst organic Google, and word of mouth continue to top the food chain, the industry continues growth. Success bears territorial reverence for contrite polished elite to elevate the trade, yet we still hear the dinosaurs in the throes of death, ravaging every nubile prospect that is smells. The survivors of the gauntlet look back and mock their attackers knowing they have rendered them powerless.

Harry Potter much?

I'm a lapsed master cleaner, I sat in on acct class with my senior tech when he was new in 2015. It was a total joke, the instructor (pretty well known) spent more time talking about himself and his successes than the subject matter.

 

[Mikey P]

Acct or smt?

 

[Chris A]

Carpet Cleaning, should have said "a CCT" class

 

[Mikey P]

That makes more sense I never saw the IICRC teach accounting...

Mike...honest question....

now that you're the "new Star" at ICCRC , and if want it, will be in a paid senior leadership position is a few years, what's the goal/direction you want to see it go?

..L.T.A.

 

[Mikey P]

the only paid positions require skills I dont have.

I'm only there for the hookers and crawdaddies.



seriously though, I'm there representing Lee and his wishes, which coincide with much of what I want, and that is better classes which encompass more real hands on learning, online classes especially and far more value added for paying registrants, which in the end increases registrant $ that leads to the funds needed to do more cool things like the cheat sheets and spotting guides and better quality hookers and seafood for us shareholders.

I like the idea of hands on training. Might cost a little more to have a proper truck mount and required tools at a class but it would be worth it to be able to train guys on things like proper wand stroke, rotary tools, flash extractors, how the chemistry actually works. Seeing is believing.

What the hell did he just say?

To speak Kiwi, you just swap vowels at random while holding one nostril firmly shut.

see if that helps.

Dont know if I have said it in another thread but the way we did it when we were a multi truck operation was that I went to the IICRC Classes and then taught the course to our techs. I would never pay a tech to go to an IICRC class. Not that this would be bad, but its unnecessary. Any multi truck company should have monthly training classes and the IICRC courses would be a nice fit for a few of them.

That way you can integrate the IICRC course with the way that your company cleans (or want the tech to clean) Also there is some information in the course that is irrelevant to a tech.

There's iicrc courses than there's IICRC Courses..

And then you want to claim iicrc firm status without any certified techs. Fooking bullshit.

That's a zombie website.

I believe a down under school got in some trouble for giving the test answers to students. The IICRC control was to have one question on the test that couldn't be answered correctly, so anyone that got 100% cheated.

One of the original ideas behind the GRC was to have it set up so the courses that require a lot of work to set up a hands-on portion could be done there.

Ever done a stone course at a distributor where the demonstrations are done on 3x3 section of tile glued to the warehouse floor? The GRC could have a more involved set up, students and instructors fly in (Vegas is usually a cheap ticket from everywhere), and quality of instruction improves. That doesn't bring butts into seats at distributor's salesrooms though, so maybe never going to get off the ground.

Stone Pro

Ever gone to a Pro's Choice seminar?

Stone Pro likely teaches a great class in how to take care of stone using Stone Pro products. Are competing products that are better or more cost effective mentioned?

I sent a couple techs to a leather course once, and the instructor pushed his products so hard that our techs came back griping about how our chosen and proven products were crap, and what cheap asses we were to not buy the instructor's products. Neither tech ever touched a piece of leather for us.

The IICRC courses are supposed to be generic, and I think if they were held outside a salesroom they'd probably be more so.

Yes I have. It was very good.
