What the AMRT is

Higher-value work, done to the standard.

Mold remediation is some of the highest-margin work in restoration — and some of the most scrutinized. The AMRT certifies your techs to do it to the S520 standard: proper containment, negative air, PPE and a defensible remediation protocol.

In RTI’s training environment, students build real compression-containment chambers, run negative-air machines, select the right biocide and HEPA equipment for the scenario, and write the pre- and post-remediation documentation that holds up to a third-party clearance.

Why take it

Why your team takes the AMRT

Certification isn’t a wall decoration. Here’s what the credential actually changes for your techs and your business.

Open a higher-margin service line

Mold remediation bills well above standard water work — and AMRT-certified techs are what let you say yes to it.

Qualify for state licensing

Many states require IICRC mold certification to license remediation work. AMRT meets that bar.

Protect your crew and your client

Containment, negative air and the right PPE keep technicians safe and stop cross-contamination on the job.

Defensible scope, clean clearance

Pre- and post-remediation protocols written to S520 stand up to third-party clearance testing.

The outcome

Four days in, your techs can scope, contain and remediate a mold loss to the S520 standard.

Working instructors

Every RTI instructor is an active tech, supervisor or estimator — so the answer to “what actually happens on site?” comes from this week’s jobs, not a textbook.

A live flood house

Our training environment gets soaked, mapped, dried and reset every week. Students place real equipment under a real job clock before they ever touch a customer’s floor.

Questions

Contact student services

Do I need the WRT before taking AMRT?

WRT is recommended but not required. A water-restoration background helps, since mold and moisture are closely linked — but motivated technicians can take AMRT as their entry point into remediation.

Does this certification let me get a state mold license?

In many states the AMRT meets the certification requirement for mold-remediation licensing. Licensing rules vary by state — student services can help you confirm what your state requires.

Is the IICRC exam fee included?

The IICRC AMRT exam is administered on the final day, but the exam fee isn’t included in tuition — it’s a separate $150 fee paid directly to the IICRC.

What should I bring?

Work clothes and closed-toe shoes. All PPE, respirators, containment materials and course materials are provided.

The Lever360 Platform

Three levers. Pull all three and the whole company moves.

Lever360 is three products built around the same restoration job. Software runs the operation. Learning Lever trains the team. RTI certifies the trade. Use one. Use all three — they compound.

Software is one lever

You're running the company here. The other two make it compound.

Software runs the operation — every job, crew, dollar and conversation lives here. Add Learning Lever and RTI and the same techs ramp faster, bill higher, and stay longer. One lever moves the company. Three move it harder.

Learning Lever is one lever

You're training the team here. The other two make the training stick.

Learning Lever onboards faster and keeps the whole team sharp. Software is where that training shows up in the work. RTI is where it becomes a credential customers trust. Pull one — pull all three and the math compounds.

RTI is one lever

You're certifying the trade here. The other two carry the credential to the field.

RTI certifies the trade — IICRC WRT, ASD, AMRT, FSRT and beyond. Software runs the company those certified techs work for. Learning Lever ramps everyone in between. One lever moves things. Three move the whole crew.
