2.  An accomplished disaster restoration executive
with many years of experience in Western
Canada, Dedric Robinson currently serves as an
operations manager within disaster relief in
Edmonton. Dedric Robinson remains active in the
Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration
Certification (IICRC). In addition to offering a full
range of certification courses, the IICRC
organizes a number of continuing education
opportunities for professionals with a wide
variety of experience levels.
In the field of inspections, professionals must
deal with rapid changes in technologies.

3.  Some sectors affected by rapid change include
the finishing, manufacturing, and fiber
industries. To maintain certification with the
IICRC, inspectors must complete at least two
continuing education credits every four years. In
the same vein, registrants with advanced titles,
such as Master Textile Cleaner or Master Fire and
Smoke Restorer, must complete two credits per
two years. Because the IICRC recognizes that not
all members can travel to a classroom training
session, it offers a host of distance learning
options as well.
