Sorry? You must reattend all subjects not reattended in the last 6 months and pay and pay and pay. Education is not cheap?

What bull cmaster. If you hadn't taken the classes in the first place, would you know as much as you know now?? |

| ICR is a reputable organization, they also give you a mentor after you have completed the classes. |

No bull here. Just my opinion based on my experiences. Training courses shorten the learning curve. Joining an organization and paying dues doesn't |

Considering that I had been cleaning for 15 years before I took any courses I'd say shortened it

| Just about all you need to know is in the Weber CC'ing manual online....and it's free but you don't get a cert/badge or monthly payments...... |

If I had all the certs you did Doug I'd have a hard time keeping up with the CECs too! Can't you get CECs online at the IICRC website?? |

The name was change some years back to more reflect the divirisity of the membership and certifications hense IICRC. I could be wrong. Maybe this can be better answered by Mr. IICRC Lee Senter. ------------- Just My opinion |

How much does the test and cert cost? I found a school here in Portland that will teach CCT in December. And does the school generally serve as a testing center or is that centralized?

You pay $40.00 and write the test at the end of the course. In a few weeks you receive your score and certificate in the mail.
