About CARSI
Raising the bar for restoration professionals.
CARSI — the Centre for Australian Restoration and Standards Information — is Australia's leading online training platform for cleaning and restoration professionals. We offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced IICRC CEC accredited courses for people starting out, updating their knowledge, or maintaining continuing education without leaving the job site.
Our mission
Growth. Support. Development.
Professional development should fit around your work — not the other way around.
Pillar 1
Growth
Structured pathways from first course to certified competency.
Pillar 2
Support
24/7 access that fits around on-call schedules and site work.
Pillar 3
Development
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 85 accredited courses across 5 disciplines, plus full-access subscription options, we keep continuing education moving in Australia.

The CARSI difference
Why technicians choose us
Online, self-paced, and designed for people who cannot pause the job site for classroom training.
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 including IAG, Suncorp, and QBE as evidence of professional competency.
