So, you’re probably thinking, “this article is another sales tool for membership” … right? Well, yes, you can say that it is but that would be pretty short sighted.  Let’s start by saying that nobody at the North American Power Sweeping Association makes any commission off of recruitment and sales. What NAPSA does, is bring power sweepers the tools that they need to not only survive but grow their business. What is better for a power sweeper than to crowd source knowledge and resources that focus on your line of business? It’s a win for power sweepers. So, let’s take a look at what solutions NAPSA has focused on for the industry’s pain points. For this article, we will focus on three new benefits added to our cornucopia.

Education and Certification

About 6 years ago, NAPSA set out on a journey to create online training and ultimately certification for the industry. The goal was to increase professionalism which would trickle down into better sweeping performance, safer operator performance, happier customers, lower insurance rates…well you get the picture.  Anyway, we are so stoked to be launching two new educational opportunities! We are now offering Emergency Preparedness 101 which is the next course in our Certified Sweeping Manager series. Emergency Preparedness covers that dreaded “what do I do if the unthinkable happens??” The Power Sweeping Standard has an outline of best practices for response but Emergency Preparedness dives deeper into the topic with real responses for power sweepers.

 The second educational launch which NAPSA is extremely proud to offer, is our Certified Sweeping Operator Parking Lot course in SPANISH!! Yes, yo hablo Española!! Well, at least the courses are in Española even if I’m not. This is the perfect fit for your Spanish speaking operators or to attract operators from the Spanish speaking community. All CSO PL modules have been translated as well as videos having subtitles. Attracting and retaining qualified operators just got a bit easier! The CSO PL course has 51 lessons and is $90 retail or $45 for NAPSA members.  The time needed for course completion is anticipated at 8 hours as an average.

 All our courses can be found at www.SweeperSchool.com and they are open to both NAPSA members and non-members as well.

 Insurance

Insurance for power sweeping contractors is a niche offering that not every insurance company will have. Rather than hop from broker to broker, NAPSA did the work for you through the offer of industry-specific insurance covering healthcare, general liability, property, inland marine, umbrella, and workers compensation (where applicable). NAPSA members also have access to the association’s group healthcare plans through Cigna or PHCS with options for health, dental, and vision care and multiple deduction options.  In case you were wondering, now is a great time to at least get rated. Health insurance can be changed at any time of the year, so you are not obligated to any timeframe. Check out the newest healthcare benefit NAPSA offers as the rate is great!
