IICRC WRT/ASD Combo

Water Restoration Technician & Applied Structural Drying

Our IICRC WRT/ASD combo course will give you a steady foundation combining classroom instruction and drying a structure affected by water damage. In this combo course, the student will earn both the Water Restoration Technician (WRT) certification and the Applied Structural Drying (ASD) certification. These certifications will give the student hands on instruction and knowledge while they dry out a water damaged building.

Earn both certifications after successfully passing both exams! Please note there are two exams that must be completed in this combo course.
