icpi certification

[Drew Gemma]

Is it worth it can I learn anyhting or am I wasting 250 bucks every 5 years. Plus the closeest cert is about 1.5 hours away. I definetly want to improve the hardscape aspect of my business. Maintance, softscape are about maxed out for my customer base. Hardscape possibly give me extra income during the dry months. Anyone go throught the icpi cert program was it worth it.

it was well worth it. I learned some much and there is so much info in pavers that this class has. You learn everything you need to know.

I wouldn't say you learn EVERYTHING you need to know. I does teach you a great deal about soils, compaction, etc. But it doesn't teach anything about installation if thats what your looking for. ICPI is a good selling tool if you have the right customer base. I often find that price will inevitably win over a certification. This is whee your sales skills come into play. Sell your quality and value.
