Training Courses

The purpose of the two WoolSafe® Fabric Care Specialist Training Courses is to provide professional cleaners with a convenient means for advancing their knowledge of wool-rich carpet, rug and upholstery cleaning.  The courses are intended to supplement training received in the IICRC-approved Carpet Cleaning Technician (CCT), Upholstery Cleaning Technician (UFT) and Rig Cleaning Technician (RCT) certification courses or other equilivent training courses. 

The face-to-face training is a 7-hour course approved for 1-IICRC CEC in the cleaning, restoration or inspection categories.  The course includes the WoolSafe®® manual, lunch and breaks .  An optional written exam is administered at the end of the WoolSafe® Training Course.  WoolSafe® Fabric Care Specialist approval is conditional upon passing the course exam with an 80% or higher.  The course is offered through distributor and professional associations throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The on-line Fabric Care Specialist Training Course provides professional cleaners with a convenient and cost effective means for completing the course at their own pace from a home or office computer.  The course is intended to supplement training received in the IICRC-approved CCT, UFT and RCT certification courses, and it is approved for 2-IICRC CECs in the cleaning, restoration or inspection categories.

This course is divided into 33 sections or modules and includes subjects such as:

 

  • History of Wool
  • Wool Characteristics
  • Wool Yarn Production
  • Wool Cleanability
  • Wool Fiber Structure
  • Limitations of Wool 
  • Chemical and Abrasive Damage
  • Specialty Spotting
  • Wool Cleaning-Related Challenges and Solutions
  • WoolSafe®® Approved Cleaning Products
  • WoolSafe® Program

Each of the 33 modules is followed by self-evaluation multiple-choice questions, which are based on the information presented in the current module.  Students simply read each question and select the correct answer from the options provided.  The question is graded electronically for immediate feedback.  Once the course is successfully completed, students receive a completion certificate to send to the IICRC for two CECs.
