Certification - You Now Have Options
Recently, the industry has been asking for another option for certification. The International Cleaning and Restoration Association (ICRA) is now offering certification based upon written exams (cognitive assessments) in addition to their Performance Assessments as part of a new "Comprehensive Certification Program." A group of industry leaders have been working on this new program since the beginning of the year.
 
ICRA will recognize (grandfather in) your certifications
If you have any certifications listed on the ICRA Certification Recognition Program webpage, ICRA will accept a copy of your certificate or ID card as a basis for issuing you an equivalent ICRA certification. No need to take another class or exam. Certifications from other certifying bodies, not listed on the website, will be evaluated on a case by case basis.
 
Certification Recognition Program
  • ICRA will "grandfather" your certifications from other certifying organizations at a flat fee of $40.00 regardless of the number of certifications that you have.  No requirement to attend another course or take another exam.

CRI updates the SOA Service Provider Guidelines to Include ICRA Membership

Sacramento, CA – The Carpet and Rug Institute recently updated its guidelines for Seal of Approval Service Providers. In addition to its recommendation that firms seeking service provider status be certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration (IICRC) the CRI now suggests membership in the non-profit support and certification group, the International Cleaning and Restoration Association (ICRA). The CRI Seal of Approval Service Provider agreement now reads:

The SOA Service Provider Plus Program strongly recommends that participants (companies) become IICRC certified firms and/or become a member of ICRA (International Cleaning and Restoration Association).

According to CRI, the ICRA offers enhanced, hands-on certification through their Performance Assessment program for carpet cleaning that compliments the existing IICRC training program.
