Vale National Training Centers offers one, two, and three week basic and advanced courses in Residential and Commercial Property Estimating, Automotive Estimatics, Tractor-Trailer and Heavy Equipment, Casualty, Property, and Worker's Compensation Adjusting. There are three locations, one in Arlington, Tx., one in Mechanicsburg, PA., and the other one in Fresno, CA.
It is necessary to have a sponsor to attend one of the courses and I would be happy to do that for anyone who has the ambition to attend. Vale National is a sister company of Cunningham Lindsey and I will be happy to assist anyone who would like to take a course. You can e-mail me or call me in my Dallas office. |

I realize that I am joining this discussion a bit late, but The Worley Companies offers certification classes for inexperienced adjusters. More information can be found at www.worleyco.com/training dept.htm. Additionally, there is a correspondence course for CE credit for all you adjusters that are on the road. |

Troy, I too have had trouble getting the information you requested. I went to Vale National in Mechanicsburg, PA. I went for the property adjusting class and afterwards I had better luck getting a job. I had to pay for the class myself but it was worth it. If you can get the books for INS 21 from www.aicpu.org it will give you an oversite of the insurance industry and an excellant beginning on your certificate of insurance. The tests also count toward your continuing education. Good luck, let me know if I can help in any way.

Thanks Chuck, I received your CAT 101 document, and it has been a real big help.
For all you old-timers, and newbies, too, what certifications are the best to get you hired for the first time? What worked for you, what have you heard others reccommend?
And what salary can a beginner expect? |

I agree with Troy, There is a need for certified adjusters and very little information on where and how to obtain the certifications. If newbies who are serious about becoming oldtimers one day cannot continue receiving help from vendors and others the adjusting profession will be the only loser. |

Troy, If you haven't already email me and I will forward a copy of Cat 101. It will answer some of your questions. |

I have searched the internet for hours and have found very little on insurance adjuster certifications. Some of the ones I have seen mentioned in these forums are CPCU, FWUA, NFIP, AIC, Vale.
Is there a list someone can point me to of such firms which provide insurance adjuster training and certification?
And which certifications would be best for a newbie to qualify them to get hired? |
