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
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.

Overall, it was a good experience. I learned a lot of things that will help me in the field as well as help out people in need. I thought I had a grasp of the dryout process but this class was really eye opening in the terms of what more could be done. Thank you Chris Curto! Ian J.

The instructor was awesome. The time flew by because his approach to the class came from the heart and I see this “job” as my career, so I could feel his passion for the industry through his teachings. Loved the 9 min breaks. 9 is a very important number to me so that was also awesome. Derrick K.

I recently completed a WRT (Water Damage Restoration Technician) class through Zack Academy, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The registration process was super easy, and the course content was both thorough and engaging. However, what really made the class stand out was my instructor, Chris. Chris is hands down one of the most knowledgeable and passionate professionals I’ve ever encountered. He made complex topics easy to understand and really took the time to ensure every student was grasping the material. His enthusiasm for the subject was contagious, and it was clear he genuinely cares about helping students succeed. The class was not only informative but also fun, and I learned so much more than I expected. If you’re looking for top-notch instruction and want to earn your WRT certification, I can’t recommend this course—especially with Chris—as highly as I can! Issac Y.

The online class was a lot better than I expected. This was my first ever virtual/live stream class and it absolutely changed the way I feel about it. I used to think that all classes had to be in person to actually learn. But now I know for a fact it is possible to learn a ton through a live stream. Madeline V.

Chris from Advanced Restoration and Konsulting was a very good instructor. It felt like I was in the actual classroom instead of on zoom. He kept it lighthearted and encouraged questions with thought out responses based on fact, not opinion. Would 100% recommend this course through this instructor. Abel A.

I have some experience in this line of work. So you can say I know a thing or two. With that being said, someone recommended I take this course on the condition it was backed by IICRC. Came across this one including a few others online, what distinguished this one was how soon it was scheduled to start. So glad I came across Chris. Gave me some much insight on material and this line of work. The way he demonstrates and teaches the material makes it comprehensive. If you feel stuck somewhere, don't hesitate to let him know. He will go more in depth or different approach/analogy until we're on the same page. Despite the training being online, Chris also has an array of tools that either you've used or will eventually come across in this line work. Definitely recommended Chris if you're considering to be WRT certified!!! Daniel B.

Hands down Chris is the best instructor I have ever had. The privilege of learning from in my 13 years of doing restoration work. He is the most personable, knowledgeable, humble, funny and inviting instructor in my opinion from his powerpoints to the videos, he shows. To his own personal experiences in the field that he'll share to listening to the students is unbelievable. The amount he cares not only for water restoration, but for all current and new technicians coming into the field is unmeasurable. I truly hope i get the privilege of having him as my instructor in future courses. Jason K.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course with Chris. He is professional, clear and detailed in his instruction. His materials were thorough. Chris encouraged participation and responded to every question and comment from the students. Chris is clearly an expert in this field and is well versed in the IICRC code. I highly recommend taking his course to anyone and when I'm ready for my next IICRC Course, I will most likely seek Chris out as the instructor for that course. Dewaine I.

Chris was a fantastic instructor, the only "issue" I would say is lack of time for the course. Not his fault by any means, the course should be 4 full days instead of 3.
He answered our questions promptly, was very helpful when it came to explaining and clarifying. His real-world examples were useful in how to think about the jobs we'll get going into the field. I would recommend him for anyone taking the course, and any other courses he may teach. Herman K.

My colleague recommended Chris as an instructor for the IICRC WRT course, and I’m glad I took their advice. His strong background in water mitigation and practical tips made the material easy to grasp and relatable.
Chris’s teaching style was engaging and approachable. He blended real-world examples with visual experiments, encouraging us to ask questions and participate, which kept the learning environment interactive.
Chris explained complex topics clearly, breaking them down in an easy-to-follow way. He was patient and straightforward, ensuring everyone understood before moving on. His deep understanding of the subject matter, combined with insights from his own experience, added a lot of value to the lessons.
Overall, I had a great experience with Chris. He made the course manageable, kept us engaged, and provided excellent support throughout. I’d highly recommend him to anyone taking the IICRC WRT course. Marco D.
