The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) announced it has acquired the performance assessment and certification programs of the International Cleaning and Restoration Association (ICRA).

Performance assessments demonstrate the level at which a person can perform requisite tasks in a given work designation.

The IICRC said it will recognize ICRA assessment certificates, registered assessors and training providers and welcomes those currently registered or certified by the ICRA.

According to a press release, uniting these programs within the IICRC will make the industry less divided. “Developing all certifications under one roof allows greater exchange of information.  The outcome is better training products available to the entire industry.”

For further information about certifications or assessment contact the IICRC at icratoiicrc@iicrcnet.org.

All other ICRA membership activities will revert back to regional associations.
