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 Forensic Investigations for Water Losses
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Forensic Investigations for Water Losses
Forensic water damage investigations are conducted to answer specific factual questions about a water loss: what caused it, when it started, how far it spread, and whether the remediation was adequate. This course equips restoration professionals with a systematic forensic methodology, evidence-gathering techniques, failure analysis skills, the ability to present findings professionally, and an understanding of how to establish the financial cost of a loss.
Introduction to Project Management for Water Losses
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Project Management for Water Losses
A water damage project that is managed well produces an accurate scope, efficient execution, minimal callbacks, satisfied clients and insurers, and a profitable job. A project that is managed poorly produces the opposite of all of these. Project management in water damage restoration is the application of structured processes — not bureaucracy — to ensure that the right things happen in the right order, by the right people, on time.
Introduction to Water Damage Estimating
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Water Damage Estimating
An accurate, defensible estimate is the foundation of a profitable water damage job. Estimating errors — missed items, incorrect quantities, wrong unit rates — produce jobs that lose money, create disputes with insurers, or overcharge clients. This course builds the estimation skills that translate inspection findings into accurate scopes and fair, defensible pricing.
Introduction to Water Damage in Commercial Buildings
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Water Damage in Commercial Buildings
Commercial water damage events differ from residential losses in scale, complexity, stakeholder management requirements, business interruption impact, and regulatory compliance obligations. A restoration professional who understands the specific characteristics of commercial water damage is better equipped to assess, scope, and manage these high-value, high-complexity jobs to a successful outcome.
Introduction to Water Damage Principles
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Water Damage Principles
This course establishes the foundational principles that underpin professional water damage restoration practice. Understanding the science behind moisture behaviour, psychrometrics, microbial risk, and damage assessment allows restoration professionals to make informed decisions on site rather than applying fixed procedures that may not suit the specific conditions of each job.
Introduction to Water Damage Restoration
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Water Damage Restoration
This course provides a structured introduction to the complete water damage restoration process for practitioners entering the industry or seeking to formalise their understanding of the field. It covers the end-to-end workflow from site safety through inspection, moisture control, extraction, and equipment setup — providing the operational framework on which all more advanced restoration knowledge is built.
Introduction to Water Extraction Methods
CARSI · Restoration training · Australia
Introduction to Water Extraction Methods
Water extraction is the most time-critical task in any water damage response. Every minute standing water remains in contact with porous building materials increases absorption depth, extends the drying timeline, and increases secondary damage costs. This course covers the operational fundamentals of professional water extraction: why it matters, how to do it safely, what equipment to use, how to apply the right technique for the material type, and how to manage waste correct
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.

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.
