Inspection Education & Training This is a general forum for inspectors to discuss their educational experience, and to ask questions of InterNACHI's Education Committee. This forum is dedicated to the memory of InterNACHI member and educator Gerry Beaumont. Gerry was an avid proponent of education for inspectors and will be sorely missed.

Default Do you all want a state-approved, free online course for Claims Adjuster licensing?

We have been slowly developing a course that would be approved for the licensing of insurance claims adjusters, but I was wondering if it is really of interest to anyone.

I am a Accredited Claims Adjuster in FL. Took the classes and learned alot about no fault auto insurance and NOTHING about claims adjusting. Not even a mention of Xactimate so anything you produce would be of a great help to others who might be planning to go that route.

John
Same here (Public Adjustor). After the class they told everyone, go find someone to mentor you for a few years then you might know enough to do some claims adjusting on your own but have great insurance just in case. Up until recently there were no other available classes on how to learn the job. Now you can go sit in another class for 5 days straight, learn adjusting, how to take offs, etc. and Xactimate software. Figure on about 1200-1500 just for the class.



"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

I have interest in this if for no other reason than it would be another feather in my cap when approaching insurance companies for their inspection business.

Yes.

I did this work for the Air Force (a self insurer) and would love to incorporate it into what I presently do.

Yes, I think that this would be another service we can offer to insurance companies.

It would be cool to get my continuing ed.

It does not help with roof certs, wind mits or four points. The best thing it does for the inspector is some credibility with insurance agents for wind mits, 4 points and roof certs.

I did it as a back-up plan for inspections. The biggest issue, if you leave to do disaster adjusting what happens to your business. The people with lots of experience and full time jobs get the local stuff. Now, become a Public adjuster and you could use that I suppose.

Yes Nick, I would love that. You wouldn't have to chase disasters as Shishilla said, at least in my area, there is lots of local work. Tried to get into this before, the costs were high and as someone else said "you have to mentor with someone to get the real info".

Nick, you just keep making iNachi a bigger and bigger education monster.

I'm not interested in starting another career. I may plead ignorance, but I don't see the relevance to home inspecting.



“The things that will destroy America are peace at any price,
prosperity at any cost, safety first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
