About Us
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 deliver IICRC CEC-approved courses that allow technicians to maintain their certification without leaving the job site.
Growth. Support. Development.
The cleaning and restoration industry is demanding. Technicians work long hours, often interstate, responding to water damage, fire, and mould events. Finding time to complete the continuing education required to maintain IICRC certification has historically meant flights, hotels, and days away from active jobs. CARSI changes that.
We believe professional development should fit around your work — not the other way around. Our platform is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, accessible from any device. Whether you're between jobs in regional Queensland or studying at midnight in Perth, CARSI is there.
With 66 IICRC CEC-approved courses across 4 disciplines, and a full-access subscription at $795 AUD per year, we provide the most cost-effective path to IICRC certification maintenance in Australia.

Raise the Bar
We exist to lift industry standards through education. Every course is designed by practitioners, for practitioners.
Why CARSI?
Traditional restoration training in Australia 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's online platform eliminates these costs entirely. Courses are self-paced, certificates are instant, and your CEC progress is tracked automatically in your student dashboard.
CARSI is also a core pillar of the National Restoration Professionals Group (NRPG) onboarding pathway, ensuring trained technicians are recognised across the NRPG network from day one. Our training is recognised by major Australian insurers including IAG, Suncorp, and QBE as evidence of professional competency.
