Steps
Review iicrc.org/smt for the current course description and prerequisites
Confirm the course structure — two days of classroom identification/restoration/maintenance training plus one hands-on day
Confirm the certification carries 14 IICRC continuing education credits (CECs) upon completion
Check for approved training providers (e.g., Zack Academy, Jon-Don, XL North) currently offering the course, since IICRC certifies technicians but individual providers run the class sessions
Confirm SMT is the correct IICRC credential for stone/masonry/tile care, not IICRC's separate carpet, water-damage, or mold credentials
Known gotchas
SMT is oriented toward cleaning/restoration/maintenance contractors broadly, including janitorial and property management, not specifically countertop fabrication shops — verify it's the right fit before recommending it as a fabrication-shop credential rather than a stone-care/restoration-business credential
IICRC certification is distinct from Natural Stone Institute Accreditation — separate organizations covering different scopes (individual restoration-technician skill vs. fabricator/installer company-level accreditation)
