 Certification increases sales
December 1st 2011
Contractors and restorers can
increase sales by gaining an
internationally-recognised
qualification in dealing with
water damage, according to
the National Flood School.
It is running a three-day
Institute of Inspection, Cleaning
and Restoration Certification
(IICRC) Water Restoration
Technician course (Jan 10-12).
At the end of the
programme, successful
students gain the IICRC's Water
Restoration Technician
qualification – evidence of
extensive specialised
knowledge that will help
builders, contractors and
restorers bring in more
business.
The course focuses on the
theory behind the practice,
concentrating largely on
psychrometry – the 'science of
drying.' Lectures, discussions
and video are used to cover
topics such as the latest
equipment, safety, water
extraction procedures,
structural drying, chemicals
and dealing with sewage.
Attendees will also learn
everything they need to deal
with water damage claims.
"Water damage costs the
insurance industry billions of
pounds, and the volume of
claims means there is high
demand for contractors," says
Chris Netherton, MD of the
National Flood School."Using a
restorer with an internationallyrecognised
IICRC Water
Restoration Technician
qualification saves the industry
money because properties are
dried out more quickly and
effectively and it helps improve
customer service." More articles from National Flood School Ltd: |
