This is the FIRST post on this new forum.
Please bear with me.
The purpose of this forum is to offer roof cleaning training and certification for roof cleaners around the World.
Lets TALK about it guys.
Should we have seperate certs for tile, shingle, and metal roof cleaning ?
Personally, I think we should.
But what do YOU think ?

Sure. The more certifications you have, the more selling points you have.

Absolutely Nate, certification is a way of distancing you from Low Ball Luke.
It tells a customer you know your stuff

Hi fellow roof pro's. I love the idea of a roof cleaning organization. I will support it all the way as long as it does what it is intended to do; Create a united front and a overwhelming presence of roof cleaners that know how to do things the right way.

Welcome CCPC and Dave !
Dave, you should look at CCPC'S Web Page ?
He made it on Google Pages, and it is FREE.
It MIGHT be a requirement to have a web site, LOL
Just kidding, but it is free, so what are ya waiting for ?

Hey Chris

Firstly, good luck with RCI(A) - I think it is a great step forward for the industry as a whole and any effort to improve credibility should be commended.

I am not actively seeking work in the roof cleaning sector of our industry at the moment, but will be looking at it the medium to long term for my company.

In my opinion, you would be correct to split certification across the different roof cleaning applications. I think it would be good for a couple of reasons:

- By offering separate certification you give contractors the opportunity to focus on the kind of roof cleaning applications that are specific to their target market or location.

- Separate certification may also allow you or your instructors to deliver contractor-friendly ("bite-size") courses that may be shorter in duration and content.... thus more convenient to busy contractors.

Is there going to be a structure to training, ie. follows a number of predetermined stages, syllabus, set assessment procedures?

Yes Steve, we are working on all the details.
Obviously, everyone can't come to Tampa for training.
So much of the testing will have to be in either oral, or written form.
Like Mechanics have books suggesting what to charge for a repair, I would like to see that too.

I have some graphics samples due pretty soon.
You can then proudly display certification on your web site, and around the other boards.

Chris,
I think you only need one certification and cover all the different type of roofs. Also I think the training needs to cover equipment failures and a trouble shooting guide as this is a big part of our business.

I think 1 cert is enough and safety should be a paramount issue here.

Yes, safety is a BIG concern David.
RCIA is looking for instructors, how would you like to be a roof cleaning safety instructor ?
Or, perhaps another teaching position.
