IICRC News: February 2020

IICRC News
February 4, 2020

Easier Site Navigation

If you’ve visited the IICRC website lately, you may have noticed a few changes. A new navigation menu item labeled “Tools” directs visitors to the new FAQ page, the IICRC video library and update forms. Finding the answers to your questions and updating your information just got a whole lot easier! For more information, visit IICRC.org and click on “Tools.”


Welcome to the Updated IICRC Course Locator Page 

The IICRC Course Locator makes it easy to find IICRC classes in your area. Unfortunately, classes aren’t always available near you.  

To gather more information to better serve our constituents, a new pop-up screen allows you to send us information about course offerings. If you are unable to locate a course in your area, let us know by completing the feedback form. This feature will help us identify demand and improve course offerings. For more information, please visit IICRCCert.org


2020 is The Year of Advancing Your Career

Have you checked out any of the IICRC’s advanced certifications? If you haven’t, now is the time to do so. Expand your career by taking classes, for example, that allow you to become a certified Trauma and Crime Scene Cleanup Technician or Fire and Smoke Restoration Technician.

As technicians accumulate certifications, they become eligible for advanced designations such as the IICRC Master – the industry’s highest technical designation. With a minimum of three years as an IICRC Certified Technician and the attainment of specific courses, you can advance your career by earning an IICRC Master Designation in Textiles, Fire and Smoke, and Water Restoration. Visit IICRCCert.org to find a course near you.


IICRC FAQs

View our new Frequently Asked Questions page at IICRC.org/IICRCFAQs for information on finding certification courses, renewal processes and fees, exams, continuing education requirements, Certified Firms, making updates to your online profile and more. The FAQ page can also assist with answering basic questions for individuals and firms who are interested in learning more about the IICRC.

IICRC has recently digitized its update form to make it easier for registrants to update their contact and company information. For more information or to make an update, visit IICRC.org, click on “Tools,” and then “Update Form.”
