Prerequisite: IICRC Carpet Cleaning Technician (CCT) certification
The IICRC-approved Colour Repair Technician (CRT) course covers topics such as colour theory and principles, the history of dyes, carpet manufacturing and dyeing, fibre identification, dye types for different fibres, spot dyeing procedures and room dyeing procedures. Other topics that are covered include colour-related cleaning issues such as bleach spots, urine discolouration, and the use of cleaning agents that may affect or remove colour from carpet. Carpet dyes are permanent, and so proper training is essential for anyone working with them. Having a sound knowledge of the best kinds of dyes to use, the right colour combinations, proper use of dyeing chemicals, and application techniques will affect the outcome of every colour repair job. This course will enable the participant to obtain IICRC CRT certification.
IICRC CCT certification is a prerequisite for this course.
This online livestream Coach8 CRT course will be held over a 2-day period, from 1:00 am to 9:00 am (Australian Eastern Standard Time) each day.
