IICRC Trauma and Crime Scene (TCST) - IN PERSON
The IICRC-approved Trauma and Crime Scene Technician (TCST) course provides training in the proper maintenance and cleaning of trauma and crime scenes. Emphasis is placed on the following topics: health and safety requirements, including the donning and doffing of personal protective equipment and creating a hazard assessment of the area; structural remediation; contents remediation; and the cleaning and disposal of vehicles and industrial machinery, including lockout/tagout and working with industrial site officers. Cleaning techniques and equipment will be demonstrated, and laws regarding hazardous waste, transport, storage, and disposal will be discussed. This course will enable the participant to obtain IICRC TCST certification.
This onsite in-person Coach8 TCST course will be held over a 2-day period from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm both days. The finishing times will vary each day.
Participants earn 14 IICRC Continuing Education Credits (CECs) for attending this course.
Lunches and snacks will be provided by The Restoration Group.
To receive your certification, you must pass an IICRC examination. If you intend to complete the exam, you must complete a separate exam registration process, which will be provided after registering for the course. Exams for onsite in-person courses are generally held in the classroom after lunch on the final day of the course. Exams for online livestream courses have different arrangements.
NB: The course registration fee does NOT include IICRC exam registration fees. Exam fees are paid directly to the IICRC separately. The IICRC exam fee for this course is currently $80 USD, but you can check the IICRC website to ensure that fee is still correct.
