Why Should You Take This IICRC-approved Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT) course?
This IICRC-approved Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT) course is designed to teach restoration personnel that perform remediation work to give them a better concept of water damage, its effects and techniques for drying of structures. This course will give residential and commercial maintenance personnel the background to understand the procedures necessary to deal with water losses, sewer backflows, and contamination such as mold.
When coupled with additional on-the-job training and field experience, students should be adequately prepared to perform and document typical residential or light commercial water-damage restoration projects from start to finish. They also should be adequately prepared to accomplish further training in other IICRC-approved courses such as ASD (Applied Structural Drying), and AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician), which require WRT (Water Damage Restoration Technician) as a prerequisite.
Topics to be Covered Include:
- General Discussion covers Principles of Drying, Categories and Classes.
- Equipment, Supplies, Chemicals
- Microorganisms, Health and Safety
- Drying Science
- Effect of Water on Materials
- Inspections
- Procedures: Sanitary Water Source
- Procedures: Unsanitary Water
We also offer the IICRC Water Remediation Technician course in Spanish. Please click here for more information.
Intended Audience: Restoration & remediation companies, contractors, universities, large organizations, facility managers, water damage technicians, carpet cleaning companies, BOMA members, home & building inspectors, and anyone that deals with water damage.
IICRC Exam Fees: $80.00 for each exam. Retests are $80.00 per exam. These fees are in addition to the registration fee and are paid directly to the IICRC online prior to course start date. Please use this link to register for the exam: https://iicrc.org/livestreamexamregistration
The WRT Certification Exam is comprised of 84 questions, multiple choice.
To learn more about IICRC Certification, view the IICRC FAQs.
Continuing Education: The IICRC continuing education program seeks to encourage registrants to actively participate in their industry through conventions, workshops and specialized training with continuing education and by sharing knowledge with others in the industry. IICRC-certified cleaning and restoration technicians face many changes in their field and require 14.0 CE credit hours every four years.
Please Note: Failure to meet continuing education credit requirements will result in suspension of that particular status until the requirement is met and all current course requirements are met.

How difficult is the IICRC WRT exam and how should I prepare?

Review for Rudy, IICRC Water Mitigation Class Instructor
I had the absolute privilege of attending Rudy’s IICRC Water Mitigation class, and I can confidently say he is hands-down the best instructor I’ve ever had. Rudy’s passion for the industry, depth of knowledge, and exceptional teaching style set him apart in a way that’s rare to find.
From the moment the class began, Rudy had everyone engaged. He masterfully broke down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons while keeping the energy high and the atmosphere fun and collaborative. His use of real-world examples and practical applications made the material not just educational but genuinely interesting. Rudy didn’t just teach the material—he brought it to life, connecting every detail to real-world scenarios we encounter on the job.
What truly impressed me was his commitment to ensuring every student succeeded. He took the time to answer every question thoughtfully and never made anyone feel rushed or overlooked. Rudy’s encouragement and enthusiasm were contagious, and he inspired me to not only master the material but to carry the same level of excellence into my work.
If you’re considering taking any class Rudy teaches, don’t hesitate. His class is worth every minute and more. You’ll leave with a wealth of knowledge, a newfound confidence in your skills, and a deep appreciation for the craft of water mitigation. Highly, highly recommend Rudy to anyone in the industry looking to elevate their expertise!
Thank you, Rudy, for setting the bar so incredibly high! Russell B.

The course was good. Learned a decent amount. Some concepts were more difficult to grasp. The instructor tried to explain them and asked us to email him if we still don’t understand later. So that was hubs. Also nice snacks and accommodation. Overall good course. Luis C.
