IICRC Approved School

About BRI

  • The Building Restoration Institute is IICRC’s approved school #123. 
  • Since 1985, our instructors taught IICRC and OSHA outreach safety and health courses. 
  • Many thousands of technicians across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, and Caribbean became IICRC certified through our school. 
  • Since Covid-19, some IICRC courses are instructed on the internet, where a few students advised us “they did not do well,” or “they did not pass their internet course.” 
  • Recognizing this, BRI only instructs “in-person courses,” where we contract through other approved schools, or government agencies, unions, associations, equipment suppliers, and more often, directly with a restoration contractor. 
  • BRI is able to instruct “combination” classes, where the WRT class is combined with the AMRT course, or the OCT is combined with the FSRT course. 
  • We believe, our “in-person” students (technicians, supervisors, project managers, insurance adjusters, property managers, and others) retain more of their course information, where they have higher passing grades when taking their IICRC exam.
