Dear Restorer’s, Franchisee’s and Insurance Executives
HOW MUCH ARE YOU SPENDING FOR IICRC WATER, FIRE AND CARPET CLEANING CERTIFICATION OF YOUR EMPLOYEES?
One of our clients estimates that it cost his company about $1,000 per employee to send them to a 3-day IICRC certification course (which includes course fees,travel cost, rental cars, meals, hotels, wages, etc.). This year they will train over 30 employees, which would have cost them $30,000.
By reading further, you can find out how they saved over $22,700 with the Atex School of Cleaning and Restoration on-site training program.
Here is the basic program: A company purchases an entire 2-day (Carpet Cleaning) or 3-day (Water or Fire Restoration) IICRC certification course. The cost to you is $1,000 per day of instruction, plus reasonable travel expenses of the instructor, course manuals and shipping cost.(Average cost for a 3-day course is about $4,300). Additionally, the sponsoring company provides student lunches, beverages and snacks, which should be no more than $10 per student, per day. Assuming you had 10 employees to train, the total cost would be about $500 per student, or ½ of what you would have spent sending them out of your market.
More Good News
To offset your investment, the sponsoring company can sell seats to the class to virtually anyone else—other restorers in the area, insurance adjusters, construction companies, hygienist, potential clients, etc. Average charge per seat for a 3-day course is $300-$350.(Some companies invite special guests, such as insurance adjusters or potential clients, to attend for free and consider this a marketing expense). The number of students in the CCT, WRT and SRT classes is unlimited, so the potential of turning this class into a profit center certainly exists.
Please take a few minutes to review the attached expense analyses and see if any of them fit your situation. Company and student references, along with an instructor’s resume, are available on request.
