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.
Are there any prerequisites for taking the IICRC WRT water damage certification?
The IICRC WRT course has no formal prerequisites, making it accessible to both new and experienced restoration technicians. Zack Academy's WRT water damage restoration training welcomes students at all experience levels to advance their knowledge of moisture science, water damage analysis, and industry-standard drying procedures.
What career opportunities open up after earning IICRC WRT certification?
WRT-certified technicians qualify for roles with restoration companies, property management firms, and independent remediation contractors. Earning IICRC WRT certification through Zack Academy's training network positions restoration professionals for advancement into lead technician, project manager, and applied structural drying specialist roles, or even starting their own business, in the growing water damage restoration industry.
How difficult is the IICRC WRT exam and how should I prepare?
The WRT exam tests knowledge of water damage inspection and classifications, drying science, and drying protocols. Zack Academy's IICRC WRT courses are instructor-led, whether in-person or livestream, and include exam preparation, ensuring students understand both the technical concepts and practical applications tested on during the certification exam at the end of the training program.
Should property managers get IICRC WRT certification to better oversee water damage claims?
Property managers who earn WRT certification gain a clearer understanding of assessing flood damages and the drying process, making them better equipped to oversee contractor work and evaluate restoration invoices. Many property management professionals turn to Zack Academy's IICRC WRT training to build technical knowledge that improves decision-making during water damage restoration projects.

This was a good course! Destry did a nice job - I learned a lot. I would say that, however, the review tests and test prep wasn't challenging enough. I thought the actual test was significantly more challenging than the kahoots and such. Maybe create more kahoots with more sample test questions? That is my main feedback. Matthew D.
