The Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) is the global standard-setting body for the cleaning and restoration industry. Established in 1972 in the United States, the IICRC now operates across 25 countries and has certified over 67,000 technicians worldwide (source: IICRC.org).
The organisation maintains standards across seven core disciplines. In Australia, IICRC certification is recognised by major insurers such as IAG, Suncorp, and QBE as evidence of professional competency. Technicians must earn Continuing Education Credits (CECs) every two years to maintain certified status (source: IICRC Global). CARSI offers 40 IICRC CEC-approved online courses across all seven disciplines, allowing Australian professionals to meet renewal requirements without travelling interstate.
