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.

I will highly recommend Mark as an instructor. His approach to teaching is a perfect blend of extensive knowledge, exceptional patience, and professional poise, creating an ideal learning environment.
From the start, it was clear that the instructor possessed a deep and comprehensive understanding of the course material. What truly set him apart, however, was his ability to convey this knowledge with unwavering patience. No question was too basic, and he took the time to ensure every student fully grasped the concepts before moving on. This supportive approach significantly boosted my confidence and understanding.
He maintained a poised and confident demeanor throughout every session, which made the class feel structured and professional. When questions arose, he answered them thoroughly and clearly, providing practical examples and relevant details as needed. His calm presence made the virtual classroom a safe space to learn and ask for clarification without hesitation.

The IICRC Water Damage Restoration Technician course was extremely informative and well-structured. The instructor demonstrated extensive knowledge of the field and provided practical, real-world examples that helped reinforce the technical concepts. The hands-on demonstrations were particularly valuable, giving us the confidence to apply these techniques in actual restoration scenarios.
The course material covered everything from basic water damage principles to advanced restoration techniques, equipment usage, and safety protocols. I especially appreciated how the instructor emphasized both the scientific aspects of water damage and the practical business considerations we need to know as restoration professionals.
The learning environment was professional and conducive to asking questions, which helped ensure we fully understood each concept before moving forward. This certification course has definitely equipped me with the knowledge and skills needed to handle water damage restoration projects effectively. Menachem B.
