ACRA Delivers Industry-Leading Training Solutions
In an industry where standards matter and performance counts, training isn't just a formality – it's a business-critical investment. The Australian Cleaning and Restoration Academy (ACRA) is at the forefront of modern training. Our training is practical, relevant, and focused on results.
Whether you are an experienced technician, a business owner, or part of an insurance team, ACRA offers flexible training. Our expert-led training solutions are designed to meet your needs. ACRA's restorers build hands-on, in-person workshops and create on-demand online courses for other restorers – and it shows.
Real-World Ready: Training That Works Where You Do
At ACRA, training is grounded in real restoration work. It's not theory for theory's sake.
Everything we teach is tested in the field first. We're not here to tick boxes or hand out certificates with no substance. We're here to raise the bar.
Because we've walked the same jobs you have. We have worked in wet subfloors and dried water-damaged wood. We also handled mould removal while meeting insurance deadlines and client expectations.
Our water damage restoration training scenarios reflect real-world job conditions, challenges, and equipment. Each session covers effective techniques for restoration jobs. This includes drying subfloors and using advanced heat-drying methods. The focus is on what works now and in the future.
Immersive & Applied: Learn by Doing, Not Just Watching
We know that the best learning doesn't happen in a lecture. It happens when you're hands-on. That’s why ACRA's in-person training is designed to be immersive and practical.
Participants work with real equipment, real materials, and real job scenarios. This approach builds confidence, competence, and muscle memory, helping teams improve on-the-job performance immediately.
As restoration work becomes more specialised, this type of hands-on training helps top teams stand out.
Expert-Led & Industry Proven: Training by the Pros Who Still Work in the Field
Our instructors aren’t just trainers – they’re active restoration professionals. They know the industry because they live it. Every course is taught by someone who is currently working. They support customers and use the tools. They stay updated on the latest technologies, insurance trends, and job site realities.
This means you get training that’s always current, always tested, and always relevant. We show you how to improve margins, reduce rework, and build credibility through professional practical.
Performance-Driven: Raise Standards, Reduce Rework, Improve Profitability
ACRA training is designed to sharpen your team’s performance where it counts. We focus on:
Increasing drying efficiency
Improving job accuracy and documentation
Minimising costly callbacks and rework
Building client and insurer trust
Companies that invest in high-quality training see the results: higher job margins, better staff retention, and more repeat work. According to industry data, businesses with strong learning cultures enjoy 24% higher profit margins and 218% higher income per employee (Devlin Peck, 2023).
If you want to stay competitive, this kind of performance-focused training is non-negotiable.
Online Training: Flexible Learning That Works for You
We get it. Not every business can send their whole team offsite for training. That’s why our online learning platform is built for flexibility.
Complete courses on your schedule, from any device. No matter if you are on a laptop at work or a tablet in the van, ACRA’s online content offers expert training. It provides the convenience your team needs.
Perfect for onboarding, refresher training, or upskilling new staff, our online courses offer flexibility without sacrificing quality.

Want to tackle specific gaps or challenges in your business? ACRA offers private, tailored training for your team. This means:
No distractions from external participants
Honest discussions about weaknesses and opportunities
A training program shaped around your tools, systems, and workflow
It's perfect for restoration companies that want to improve their operations without using generic, one-size-fits-all content.
Supporting the Whole Industry – Not Competing with It
ACRA isn’t here to compete. We’re here to lift the standard of the entire cleaning and restoration industry. We believe that when training is done well, everyone gains. This includes technicians on the ground and insurers managing complex claims.
Our goal is to build better-trained teams. We want to raise professional standards. We aim to make our industry known for its expertise and integrity.
That’s why we also offer specialist training for insurance professionals and assessors. Knowing how restoration processes work can help get claims approved faster. It also makes site visits more effective and leads to better results for everyone involved.
