Our mission
Professional development should fit around your work — not the other way around.
Pillar 1
Structured pathways from first course to certified competency.
Pillar 2
24/7 access that fits around on-call schedules and site work.
Pillar 3
Practitioner-led content aligned with IICRC continuing education.
The cleaning and restoration industry is demanding. Technicians work long hours, often interstate, responding to water damage, fire, and mould events. For IICRC members, continuing education through CECs has historically meant flights, hotels, and days away from active jobs. CARSI changes that.
Our platform is available 24/7 from any device — whether you're between jobs in regional Queensland or studying at midnight in Perth. With 80 courses across seven core disciplines, plus full-access subscription options, we keep continuing education moving in Australia.
Credentials
Certified Flooring Organisation and Certified Building Flood Recovery Specialist — one of very few holders of both credentials in Australia.
Founders and instructors bring decades of hands-on experience across cleaning, water damage, and building restoration.
We exist to lift industry standards through education. Every course is designed by practitioners, for practitioners.
How it works
The CARSI difference
Traditional restoration training in Australia often requires travel. A two-day face-to-face course in a capital city can cost over $2,000 in flights and accommodation alone — on top of course fees and lost billing days. CARSI eliminates those costs. Courses are self-paced, certificates are instant, and CEC progress is tracked in your dashboard.
CARSI is a core pillar of the National Restoration Professionals Group (NRPG) onboarding pathway. Our training is recognised by major Australian insurers as evidence of professional competency.
Discipline coverage
IICRC CEC Accredited courses across all seven core restoration disciplines.
