IICRC revises Substrate and Subfloor Inspector certification category

The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) has devised a new system for developing courses and examinations known as the Job Task Analysis (JTA). The latest course to use the JTA development system is the Substrate and Subfloor Inspector (SSI) category, which is a prerequisite for certification in all IICRC hard surface inspection categories.

Under the leadership of Deborah Campbell, examinations chair, the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) has devised a new system for developing courses and examinations known as the Job Task Analysis (JTA). As a result, all IICRC examinations are being revised to conform to these guidelines. The new JTA system provides a mission statement and road map or curriculum for each certification course and examination.

The latest course to use the JTA development system is the Substrate and Subfloor Inspector (SSI) category, which is a prerequisite for certification in all IICRC hard surface inspection categories. The JTA for this course was written by industry experts, including members of the Truss Council of America, American Plywood Association, Construction Technology Laboratories, Portland Cement Association, American Concrete Institute, and The Composite Panel Association. These contributors, along with other industry experts involved in creating the curriculum, are well known for their extensive knowledge about substrate and subfloor technology. The SSI introductory course and examination is based on more than 100 current industry standards, documents and publications.
