Russ,You don't need certification.You need training.Find a KEC in your area and have him train you.After you leave a certification school you will never use that certificate for anything except decoration.
With the truth on the table if you still want certification you can come to my school,for 999.00 I will certify you after one week.

thanks john,

there is no one local here ,lou gave me a guy over in mississippi we are gonna try to hook up but my schedule is all over the place with day and night jobs ....i am really considering branching out and taking the kitchen work on myself and letting my dad do the rest .....thanks for the advice as well as everyone else
 
Hey Russ, If you are really serious about it, this is a 5 step plan I layed out in another thread. It should at least get you prepared for what you are up against in the first couple of steps:

1. Go to www.ikeca.com and read through the manual. Its free, is very extensive and you will get many different views from different companies on how to do the work.

2. Buy the $50 DVD from Delco on Kitchen exhaust cleaning. It gives great demonstrations on how to pressure wash hoods. It makes it look almost too easy because of the type of systems and lack of heavy grease buildup but you will get good visuals of what is involved. You can also play a fun drinking game with your friends, every time they mention "Delco V-500" or "Delco V-501" degreaser have a shot of your favorite libation and see if your not f-ed up by the time Larry Hinkley shows you how to install an access panel. If you watch closely when the guy is spraying the filters outside you will see his chemical sprayer explode (I think they should have spent more time on this explaining why you should always wear the proper safety gear while using chemicals).

2a. Watch these videos to see what it is REALLY like to clean a difficult system:

3. If you think you are ready, try a small system. If not move to step 4.

4. Get someone on the mainland to let you go out with them for a couple of weeks and offer to pay them or buy them dinner every night. Most guys will probably do it for very cheap, your only cost will be flight and room and board and of course whatever you will lose by not working those weeks.

5. If you are still not comfortable on your own take a hands on course from Delco or Rusty. You can also buy franchises from Dunnwell or Industrial Steam Cleaning and they will train and certify you.

You can get paper certified first but unless you have the actual training to go with it you will be very frustrated.
 
Matt,
Thanks for the info, I think you have me and Russ bunched together...He IS on the mainland, I am the idiot in the middle of the Atlantic. I'm thinking of maybe getting Russ to pay for my flight him buying you dinner every night and we will both come out and Tag Team some hoods for a weeks or so. Remeber I am originally from SoCal so it's my old stomping ground..only now I speakin de spanish so I can probaly get some good shtuff!!!! In fact I am thinking more and more about the Foam Mohawk Look,,,flash back to the 80's Whooo Hoooo.....did someone say how do you Foam acid???????
