IICRC Certification is considered the gold standard of training and education in the cleaning & restoration industry globally…
IICRC certification gives you the skills, knowledge, and expertise to perform cleaning and restoration work in a variety of environments following globally recognised standards. Whether you’re brand new to the restoration and cleaning industry or a seasoned veteran who has completed numerous jobs, obtaining IICRC certification is worth your time and effort.
In essence, it means that your customers can trust you have the qualifications to get the best job done with the least risk. It also makes you more likely to be contacted for the job than someone who may be experienced yet doesn’t have IICRC credentials, especially when it comes to local insurance or manufacturer referrals.
Why is IICRC Certification Important?
- Manufacturers Recommend IICRC Standards
Most carpet mills and manufacturers recommend that cleaning be handled by an IICRC Certified professional to maintain the warranty of the carpet. IICRC Standards are now being adopted by Australia & New Zealand Standards Organisations meaning that those trained to IICRC Standards are better able to respond to consumer needs. - Insurance Companies Demand IICRC Certifications
When it comes to water damage, fire restoration, or mould remediation, most insurers require contractors to have IICRC Certification. Not having the appropriate Certification may make you or your company less desirable for that assessor or insurance claims department to use or pay you as much as a Certified Firm. - Avoid Costly Liability
Restoration work is inherently dangerous, both to your crew and to your customers. Dealing with Category III water damage or black mould remediation without the correct IICRC Training and Certification can lead to serious injury and the potential for legal action. You can reduce that threat by ensuring your people are up-to-date on all the latest standards and procedures. When it comes to carpet and upholstery cleaning, the health risk is less severe, but the incorrect chemical or cleaning method can cause permanent and expensive damage. You don’t want to be liable for mistakes you have made through lack of knowledge or skill! - Increase Profitability
You’ll be able to work more efficiently and achieve better results. The more you can do, the better you can work, the fewer mistakes, the more you can earn, and the better your reputation.
