Quality Control for Instructors

IICRC approved instructors must have at least 5 years experience in the applied-for subject field.  Foremost, they must be of good reputation and respected within the industry.  They must be a Master Cleaner and/or Restorer.  Further, they must be affiliated with an IICRC approved school.  Instructors are required to attain Professional Development Credits and Industry Participation Requirements annually.  Initially, all instructors are presented for approval to the Certification Council (a group of some 100 industry representatives) and to the IICRC Board of Directors for final approval.  This gives you the guarantee that by taking an IICRC approved course you will be tutored by the experts.

"Certified individuals and companies are respected by their customers and industry peers.  They receive training in the newest techniques and information on the latest products.  Increased knowledge breeds confidence in themselves and their services, which translates into increased sales and processing efficiency" – extract from www.iicrc.org.

Are you e-enabled?

Calling all UK IICRC certified technicians. We are in the process of reviewing your records collected by our headquarters in the US – and we are short of many email addresses. We reckon that over 85% of certified technicians have email addresses – but we have addresses for less then 30% on our database. This is preventing us from keeping in touch on a more regular basis. Please take a few moments and email claire@admin.co.uk confirming your email address and giving us permission to include you in our future emailings.

Credit Cards Accepted

In response to requests from registrants, IICRC UK can now accept payment for fees and standards in sterling via all major credit cards.

Continuing Education Credits

Certified technicians are required to keep up with their Continuing Education Credits (CECs). Such credits can be achieved by simply attending industry events and/or seminars – where you learn about current trends and techniques.
