What is IICRC Master Designation?
The IICRC Master Designation is a prestigious recognition in the inspection, cleaning, and restoration industry. It signifies expertise gained through a combination of technical education, hands-on experience, certifications, and advanced designations. Essentially, it’s a mark of mastery within the institution of cleaning, restoration, and inspection.

How do I become an IICRC Master Restorer or Master Textile Cleaner?
