Our 85 courses range from beginner modules for people just starting, through intermediate refreshers and advanced practice modules for experienced professionals. Courses are delivered online, allowing Australian restoration technicians to study at their own pace from any location. Eligible courses show their CEC value so learners can track continuing education progress without implying IICRC delivery status.
Your discipline choice depends on your current role and career goals. Water Restoration Technology (WRT) is the most common starting point, providing foundational knowledge applicable across all restoration work including flood damage, burst pipes, and storm recovery. Carpet Repair and Reinstallation Technology (CRT) suits technicians working in flooring and soft furnishing restoration. Applied Structural Drying (ASD) builds on WRT with advanced moisture control techniques for structural elements. Applied Microbial Remediation Technology (AMRT) covers mould assessment and remediation, an increasingly regulated area across Australian states. Fire and Smoke Restoration Technology (FSRT) addresses post-fire cleanup and deodorisation. Odour Control Technology (OCT) focuses on identifying and neutralising odour sources in residential and commercial settings. Commercial Carpet Cleaning Technology (CCT) targets contract cleaners working in commercial environments.
IICRC Continuing Education Credits (CECs) are the industry standard for tracking professional development in the cleaning and restoration sector. IICRC members and certified technicians continue their education through CECs within each certification cycle to maintain their credentials with the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. Eligible CARSI courses carry a specific CEC value based on course scope and duration. Upon completing a course, your CECs are automatically recorded in your CARSI student dashboard and can be exported for submission to the IICRC. CARSI also provides verifiable digital credentials with a public URL that employers and clients can use to confirm your qualifications. This system ensures your professional development is documented, portable, and recognised internationally across the restoration industry.
