RRT
From mitigation to pre-loss condition
The certification that bridges mitigation and rebuild. Repair and reinstall what the loss damaged — flooring, drywall, trim and finishes — so the job is returned to pre-loss condition by one company, not handed off.

What the RRT is
Mitigation stabilizes the loss. But the customer doesn’t feel finished until the flooring is back down, the drywall is patched and the room looks like nothing happened. The RRT certifies your techs to carry the job through that last phase — repair and reinstallation — instead of handing it off.
Students learn to scope and execute the common repairs a restoration job leaves behind: drywall and trim, flooring removal and reinstallation, finishes and the sequencing that returns a structure to pre-loss condition. Keeping that work in-house captures the revenue and controls the outcome.

Why take it
Certification isn’t a wall decoration. Here’s what the credential actually changes for your techs and your business.
Handing off the repair phase hands off the margin. RRT lets your company carry the job to completion and bill for all of it.
One company from first call to final walkthrough means no finger-pointing between trades — and a customer who saw it through with you.
Knowing what the repair really takes makes your estimate tighter and your schedule realistic.
Techs who can mitigate and repair are more useful on more jobs — and the certification proves the capability.

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.

Questions
Still have a question?
Student services can help with prerequisites, group rates, scheduling and licensing requirements in your state.
Contact student servicesDo I need a prior certification to take the RRT?
No. RRT has no prerequisites, though most techs take it once they’re already running mitigation work and want to carry jobs through the rebuild phase.
Is the IICRC exam fee included?
The IICRC RRT exam is administered on the final day, but the exam fee isn’t included in tuition — it’s a separate $80 fee paid directly to the IICRC.
Is this a general-contracting or framing class?
No. RRT focuses on the repair and reinstallation work a restoration loss leaves behind — drywall, flooring, trim and finishes — not ground-up construction or structural engineering.
What should I bring?
Work clothes and closed-toe shoes. Tools, materials and course materials are provided.

The Lever360 Platform
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
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
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
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.
