HAAG Certification...Anyone Take The Course Or Any Other Roofing Certification Courses?

P.S. By going to their site, I noticed that they are running a 50 % Discount on currently unfilled classes.

I saw an ad in the RooferSexchange about the HAAG course with a $ 75.00 discount.

Would this "Certified Roof Inspector" designation be worthy of any merit in a customers opinion or would it just be more added fluff?

Here are some links to become better versed on the topic:

This course runs between $ 295.00 to $ 395.00 and seems to be an online certification.

Here is the course schedule for the HAAG Certification Schooling, for the remainder of 2008.

Here is the link to the RCI, (Roof Consultant Institute), Registered Roof Consultant Program.

Let the discussions begin.

Ed:

I have inspected hundreds of hail damaged commercial low slope roofs with Haag after they were brought in as 'experts' by insurance companies. It seems now if the claim exceeds $50,000 they get an engineer through policy regardless of the extent of damage. They certainly do have a system and they are throrough. There are about 3 engineers that I see quite a bit and we have a pretty amicable relationship. They know my philosophies and opinions on roof damage and I know theirs. We generally come to a fair resolution, but have butted heads a times. They are a very well respected firm in the roofing industry and I feel the certification would be a very helpful promoting factor for a solid roofer as well as educational. I plan to do this. It can give you another level of credibility with HO's and ins companies and every little bit helps.
