Certifications and Cleantrust program

As a professional certification organization, the IICRC does not have members but instead has registered technicians or "registrants." The IICRC does not operate certification schools but instead approves schools and instructors to teach and administer its certification programs.

Cleantrust is a certification program created by the IICRC. Currently, the IICRC has more than 140 approved instructors and 70 approved schools offering cleantrust certification. Certification is based upon successful completion of a course in which curriculum follows the standards for that category as well as a passing grade on a standardized exam. Once certified, IICRC registrants must earn continuing education credits (CECs) to maintain their certification. IICRC certification courses include over 20 qualifications in cleaning, inspection, and restoration.
