The IICRC Contents Processing Technician (CPT) certification is designed to demonstrate a technician's expertise in the practice of contents recovery and processing procedures. This certification covers the best practices of contents processing based on available technology and resources. Topics include restoration of contents subjected to various sources of contamination as well as inspection, inventorying, wrapping, packing, transport, cleaning science, deodorizing, post-cleaning evaluation, storage, and pack back principles (chain of custody). Upon achieving certification, technicians will be prepared to work as an efficient and effective part of a contents recovery team and have the essential knowledge base to perform and document typical residential or commercial restoration projects involving contents processing from start to finish. They will also be ready to accomplish further advanced training in other IICRC certifications and courses involving specialized training, such as the UFT, CCT, and RCT courses.
