RIA’s growing global presence on display at CR2016 courseBy Claire Hibbit on November 29, 2016 in Carpet and Restoration

Restoration Industry Association (RIA) members from Australia, Canada and US came together in Chicagoto complete RIA’s signature Certified Restorer (CR) advanced certification preparatory course, ahead of anew educational program slated for 2017.

Hosted by Jon Don for the second year and held at the RIA’s state of the art training centre at itsheadquarters in Roselle, Illinios earlier this month, the course included five members from Australia, threefrom Canada and six from the US.

The 2016 CR course concludes RIA’s certification grandfathering period as the association prepares to rollout a revised advanced certification programs in 2017 for the CR and Water Loss Specialist (WLS)designations.Changes to the CR program are the first since the designation was first conceived by the late Martin L.King, CR, ASA in 1980.

The CR has long been considered the most prestigious and difficult credential for a professional restorer toattain.

The Certified Restorer Body of Knowledge, which has been in development for six years, is expected tobe released to the industry in the first quarter of 2017 and serve as the basis for RIA’s updated certificationprograms to be rolled out in the second quarter of 2017.
