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

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?

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.

The first day got off to a rocky start we went a little off topic but seemed to be good by the end of the day. Days 2 and 3 were literally reading from the text, and day 4 was going over the textbook again. The instructor did know what he was talking about but would often mix up words which can get very confusing when you are trying to learn something new. He was very friendly and was more than happy to help anyone who had questions, when they didn't understand. Frank R.

Ron did a good job of relating personal experience to the slides, and going outside the basic material to help me understand why and what sort of other things to look for that are not in the material or test. Esteban C.

Ron was great. Very informative and drills the information into your head so that it is impossible for you to forget. Very friendly and wants everyone to ask as many questions as you can. He even asked when the course was over if anybody is confused about anything that he would stay on and make sure you understand.

I did not really feel confident taking the test. I just felt like I wish we have gone over more Cole J.

The class was fairly simple and the basic concepts were covered. The test was fairly simple and straightforward, if the examine read and worked on the material on their own time. I personally found it difficult to pay attention during the zoom classes. I think having a review guide that a person can fill out or a practiced test the instructor could go over would help make a clearer understandin of the work and what needs to be known. Chris C.
