Ok, enough of you asked, so I guess it is time to bring the RCIA back ?
WHAT is the RCIA ?
It stands for Roof Cleaning Institute Of America
It was a school and certification program for roof cleaners I had way back when in 1999.

I could use some opinions, so please visit, and make your suggestions.

Our Primary focus will be the certification/training of Roof Cleaners.
I forsee an online directory of RCIA certified roof cleaners, and artwork for your web sites and advertising.

Do you want to call it the RCIA, or just RCI ?

Maybe we create a poll, and see what everyone thinks ?
 
RCI sounds simple straight to the point. But another letter might ballance out the certificate more on the 8x10 piece of paper..Heck lets make it a lic plate for the front of your truck...LOL...kidding there but on second thought you can NEVER go wrong with "America" on anything!!!! OOHRhaaaaaaa
 
Good Luck

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?

RCI is easier, but RCIA gives it more of a national feel. Roof cleaning institute could be just a local operation, while Roof Cleaning Institute of America, demands respect. IMO.
