This live web event has ended. Thank you for attending.

Description

The Certified Office Mover Course was created by Ed Katz of International Office Moving Institute (IOMI). The best practices methods were developed over 20 years as he built a successful business that handled over 50,000 local office moves.

In this live session, Ed will review the steps that movers that are interested in diversifying into office moving should take to evaluate the opportunities in their market. Movers that are already doing office moves but are ready to take the next step in professionalizing their services and sales will find this session of interest.

Now based in Madison, Mississippi, USA, Ed Katz offers training programs and seminars in office moving and project management methods, techniques, and business practices through the International Office Moving, the International Office Moving Institute (IOMI®).

In 2018, IOMI® counts Certified Office Movers® in 36 states plus Washington, DC, Canada, Southeast Asia, the UK, and Australia. That means that all key employees at every branch of the world’s largest agents, van lines, and independents have successfully completed training and earned the right to call themselves IOMI® Certified Office Movers®.

In early 2008, IOMI® proudly partnered with Georgia Highlands College, a unit of the University System of Georgia in Cartersville, to award Continuing Education Credits for Certified Office Mover® and Certified Project Manager® training when held at the Cartersville campus.

Dubbed the “world’s only university of office moving,” IOMI® is dedicated to raising the moving industry’s image by educating both professionals and consumers. IOMI® is neither a trade association nor a moving company or an affiliate, but an independent, unbiased training organization beholden to no one.
