The Certified Residential Thermographer certification is valid for 3 years. You are not required to retake the entire course in order to recertify; There are a few ways to renew your CRT certification, choose from the following options that fit your application and needs best. 

    • Attend a 1-day Recertification Refresher Course 
      Tune in for the second day of a CRT Class (in-person or via ZOOM) and pass the current CRT Final Exam to recertify. 
      Cost = $395 
         **Note: You will not receive State CE’s for a one-day class**       

 

    • Attend a 1-day Recertification Refresher Course 
      Tune in for the first day of a CRT/IMD Class (in-person or via ZOOM) and pass the current IMD Exam to recertify. 
      Cost = $395 
         **Note: You will not receive State CE’s for a one-day class**       

 

    • Attend and Complete a full 2-day CRT/IMD Class
      Revisit and recertify by taking the CRT Class again (at a discounted price and passing the current CRT Final Exam. 
      Cost = $395 
        ** Ohio CRT Graduates who want to earn 15 CE’s must take the class in person. Visit the CRT Class schedule to find the next course at HITI of Ohio – $395 ** 

 

Get to know the 1-Day Infrared Moisture Detection Course

This 8-hour course taught on day 1 of the Certified Residential Thermographer course is designed to familiarize you with basic heat transfer concepts and the limitations and capabilities of today’s thermal imaging systems. We will then cover the settings in the camera menus. Lastly, we will discuss the requirements and conditions needed to find and locate moisture/water using thermal imaging systems.

  • This course delivers the knowledge needed to utilize an infrared camera to detect moisture in building components.
  • We will explore emissivity, reflectivity, the evaporative cooling effect, thermal capacitance, and many more conditions that make moisture detectable.
  • We will discuss and explore those conditions that will not yield results so that we know what to avoid.
  • We will learn how to identify and confirm moisture patterns as they differ from energy images and air movement.
  • We will discuss and train you on the settings in today’s cameras that will lead to a more thorough analysis.
  • We will also discuss and share many images and discuss how to interpret and report those issues found.
  • Hands-on camera operation and actual moisture detection to finish out the day.
