Did You Get IDA Certified In 2019?

By Alex Hazard, IDA Certification & Education Coordinator

Here we are, at the end of yet another year furthering our businesses and leaving our mark on the detailing industry as a whole.  As you look back at 2019, I hope you see great success and opportunities to improve in the coming year.  To those of you who have gotten involved in the IDA Certification Program, Certified Detailers, Skills Validated, and Recognized Trainers, thank you for taking the next step to help establish and raise the standard in the detailing industry.  The IDA would not be what it is today without the motivated people that continue to take pride in the work they do and the extra efforts to establish this industry on the map.

If you are reading this article and have not gotten involved in the IDA Certification Program, you still have had a substantial impact on the IDA, and we would like to thank you for being involved to the extent you feel comfortable with.  My advice to you going forward would be to take that next step and look at getting certified.  You might not be able to get it done before the end of the year, but we do still have a lot of certification event opportunities available in the remaining month of 2019.  If 2019 is not a viable option for you, then keep an eye on the website to see what certification events we have coming up in 2020.

To everyone, certified or non-certified, thank you for your support and contributions.  Your involvement in the IDA gets you in touch with others in the industry and IDA Central Office staff to assist you with any questions you might have.  Please exercise the option to reach out to our office at any time as a quick and easy way to get an answer to any questions or hesitation in registering for events, membership, or certification related issues.  We are here to help make sure everyone is happy.  On that note, we hope you have a prosperous end of the year, enjoy time with loved ones, and have a wonderful holiday season!
