How Much Does Membership Cost?

Once again, thank you for your interest in our association and this membership site. Running any type of a program takes time and resources. This site alone for example, costs hundreds of dollars a month to maintain and operate (not to mention the cost of design and development). Unfortunately, as much as we’d like to, we can’t offer completely free membership. However, since you are required to complete our training course(s) and you may decide to purchase a listing with our business directory, there’s no additional cost for association membership. This may change with or without notice at some point in the future. We reserve the right to make changes as required to facilitate the continued growth and operation of ERCA. In light of any charges that you may incur, we hope the benefits of our association and this membership far outweigh the financial cost.

Here’s what you can expect to pay for your membership:

Directory listing: We offer a free plan, a silver plan for $95 a year and a gold plan for $165 a year
You must be an association member in good standing to purchase a listing with our business directory. We only permit members of ERCA, who have completed our membership requirements, to list their company with our directory.
Each of your employees are required to complete our OSHA training course each year. The cost of this course is $155.
In summary, to be a member, you must complete our Biohazard Remediation Training Bundle at $465. Additional employees must complete, at a minimum, our Biohazard Remediation Training Course at $225. Both of these are one-time fees. No annual renewal or re-training is required. Once each year, you and your employees are required to renew your OSHA training. The cost associated with this is $155 per employee, per year. If you opt for our gold plan directory listing, you’ll pay an additional $165 per year. The total annual cost of our training and membership program, with a gold plan listing in our business directory, for you and another employee, would be approximately $970 for the first year and $475 each year after. This is only $40 per month!
