Introduction to Advanced Structural Drying Concepts
This course addresses advanced structural drying concepts required for complex, large, and specialty restoration projects. It covers advanced building science as it applies to moisture behaviour, controlled drying methods at an advanced level, verification processes for complex completions, large loss project management, and specialist drying knowledge for non-standard materials and environments. Designed for experienced technicians seeking technical advancement toward projec
Introduction to Applied Structural Drying
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Applied Structural Drying
This course moves from foundational concepts to applied practice, equipping technicians to assess real building components affected by water damage, understand drying dynamics in structural assemblies, deploy and operate drying equipment correctly, apply specific drying techniques to different material types, and produce monitoring and documentation records that meet IICRC and insurance requirements. Content is aligned with the IICRC S500 standard and Australian WHS legislati
Introduction to Consulting for Complex Water Losses
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Consulting for Complex Water Losses
Complex water losses — large commercial events, multi-tenancy building floods, heritage buildings, infrastructure failures affecting multiple properties — require a consulting capability that goes beyond field restoration skills. This course addresses the advanced professional skills needed to assess, plan, resource, coordinate, and document the restoration of complex water loss events.
Introduction to Controlled Environment Drying Methods
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Controlled Environment Drying Methods
This course covers the controlled environment approach to structural drying — where physical containment, managed airflow, controlled energy input, and systematic monitoring are combined to create a drying zone that is isolated from uncontrolled external conditions and managed to maximise drying efficiency. Used in complex residential losses, commercial restoration, specialty environments, and situations where contamination control is required alongside drying.
Introduction to Structural Drying Concepts
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Structural Drying Concepts
This course introduces water damage restoration technicians to the foundational concepts that underpin all structural drying work. It covers the science of how buildings respond to moisture, how drying dynamics operate in real structures, how to monitor drying progress accurately, what equipment systems are available and how they work together, and what standards define successful completion. Every module is directly applicable to job site decision-making. Content is aligned
Refrigerant Dehumidifiers for Water Loss Restoration
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Refrigerant Dehumidifiers for Water Loss Restoration
The refrigerant dehumidifier is the primary moisture removal tool in structural drying. Understanding how it works, how to size it correctly, how to operate it at peak efficiency, and how to maintain it properly directly determines the speed and cost of every water loss restoration you attend. This course provides the technical grounding needed to use refrigerant dehumidifiers as precision drying tools, not just equipment you put in a room and hope for the best.
Timber Drying Systems Assistance
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Timber Drying Systems Assistance
This course provides practical guidance on drying timber building components and timber floor systems affected by water damage. Timber in Australian buildings — structural framing, subfloor timbers, suspended timber floors, and solid and engineered hardwood floor coverings — responds to moisture in specific ways that require targeted drying approaches. This course equips technicians to assess timber moisture conditions, select appropriate drying methods, manage the drying pro

Frequently Asked Questions
What courses does CARSI offer?
CARSI provides IICRC-aligned continuing education across seven core disciplines: Water Restoration Technology (WRT), Carpet Repair and Reinstallation Technology (CRT), Applied Structural Drying (ASD), Applied Microbial Remediation Technology (AMRT), Fire and Smoke Restoration Technology (FSRT), Odour Control Technology (OCT), and Commercial Carpet Cleaning Technology (CCT). Each course awards IICRC Continuing Education Credits (CECs) upon completion, with automatic tracking and verifiable digital credentials. Our 79 courses range from introductory modules for new technicians through to advanced certification preparation for experienced professionals. All courses are delivered online, allowing Australian restoration technicians to study at their own pace from any location. Course content is reviewed and approved by the IICRC board in the United States before CECs are assigned, ensuring every credit meets international standards.
How do I choose the right IICRC discipline?
Your discipline choice depends on your current role and career goals. Water Restoration Technology (WRT) is the most common starting point, providing foundational knowledge applicable across all restoration work including flood damage, burst pipes, and storm recovery. Carpet Repair and Reinstallation Technology (CRT) suits technicians working in flooring and soft furnishing restoration. Applied Structural Drying () builds on with advanced moisture control techniques for structural elements. Applied Microbial Remediation Technology () covers mould assessment and remediation, an increasingly regulated area across Australian states. Fire and Smoke Restoration Technology () addresses post-fire cleanup and deodorisation. Odour Control Technology () focuses on identifying and neutralising odour sources in residential and commercial settings. Commercial Carpet Cleaning Technology () targets contract cleaners working in commercial environments.
