Steps
Confirm on iicrc.org the current CCT course prerequisites, format (in-person and/or online modules), and exam structure before enrolling staff, since course delivery details can change.
Enroll technicians through an IICRC-approved school; complete the required coursework covering carpet fiber types, soil types, cleaning methods/systems, and safety.
Have the technician pass the certification exam administered per current IICRC procedures.
Maintain the technician's individual certification through IICRC's required continuing education/renewal process, tracked per technician rather than assumed to be permanent.
Use CCT-certified staff as the trained personnel referenced when the BSC also holds or pursues an IICRC S100-aligned carpet-cleaning program for clients.
Known gotchas
CCT certifies an individual technician, not the BSC company — a company can employ CCT-certified staff without the company itself holding any IICRC organizational credential.
IICRC certifications generally require periodic renewal/CE; a technician's card from several years ago may have lapsed, so verify current status via IICRC rather than assuming it's still valid.
CCT is entry-level; more advanced individual credentials exist in the IICRC catalog for carpet repair, upholstery, and master-level work — confirm the specific credential needed matches the job scope.
