Continuing Education Requirements 4640 6
Started by hwarnock
Is there any way to ease the pain of keeping up with the various state licensing continuing education requirements&160; I have licenses in 12 states and want to avoid having to call each state or scan their websites for this information.&160;
Also, can anyone recommend directories to or information about good training organizations for CE.

Started by suzukini
Hi everyone!&160; I just have a question about insurance.&160; When you are an&160;IA and go to work for companies like Eberl's, Renfroe, etc, do you have to have your own Gen Liab and E&O&160;insurance or are you covered under their company&160; I couldn't find a particular thread on here that answered this question.&160; Thanks for your help!

Hello again fellow adjusters --- it has truly been a long while since i have posted But glad to see many of the same crew are still here and giving great advice and commentary !
My question involves the CPCU courses. When evaluating my education options, i have decided that in my chosen profession, a CPCU designation may likely be more beneficial to my development right now than other 5 and 6000 level course options at conventional universiti...

San Antonio area intern opportunity? 3347 4
Started by fonewiz
I would like to find an experienced adjuster who uses Xactimate on a daily basis to adjust property claims (homes, businesses, structures) and ride with/assist him/her for a few hours a week. Maybe I can be of assistance in some way as a helper in exchange for some OJT which will help when I eventually get called for CAT adjusting.
I have pretty much zero experience in the adjusting business. I do have a P & C license as an agent but have never used it and I plan to get my all lines...

AMCAT training 6065 5
Started by fbhalljr
I went through the AMCAT training to see if I would like to try cat adjusting as a new career. I went in with no real hope of getting on a roster, just checking it out. However, I passed the class and was offered a contract with them and put on their roster. Does anyone know anything about this company I haven't done any work with them and don't want to if they have a bad rep, but I can't find anything on them on these forums.

Training-New topic-Look in the Gallary section for real hail photos 6515 0
Started by Ray Hall
Thanks to Janice Toll for some great photos on composition roof and vinyl siding damage. The only thing missing was the plastic water hose in the grass that was broken by the hail. Some of you working adjusters should post some new photos . A good long shot of a test square with the bare minimum would be good.

REPORT WRITING - BEST TIME? 4683 10
Started by Coach D
Hello,
I would like to request some input from seasoned adjusters regarding the best time to complete reports.
For example, some adjusters will scope houses for the day, return to the hotel, and report write in the evening. Others like to scope, then write report on-site in the claimants house, or in their truck, then discuss the report with the claimant. Others scope, leave to a street around the corner, write report in vehicle, and zoom....off to t...

Dallas State Farm IDL 5728 4
Started by 2roadrunners
I will be arriving in Dallas (DFW) on the the 14th of this month for State Farm's IDL class and certificate. I will be staying at the Days Inn across the highway from the Sheraton Grand Hotel where the IDL class will be held. I'm sure I can get a shuttle to the Days Inn following the registration on the same day. To conserve cash, I will not be renting a car thinking the walk will do me good. However, IF there happens to be anyone going to the same class and happens to have a car, I'd sure appre...

Recently acquired my Level 1 certification. Was fairly easy, at least the sketch part was. Only having used the demo version of the software, I found the multiple choice a bit challenging, even using the help file in the software. Any suggestions for Level 2/3

Online Testing? Need Opinions 2934 1
Started by Goldust
I am located in Montana so I was looking at taking the online testing available online for $299.
I have close to 10 years experience in Cat & regular adjusting all lines.
Here is the catch I have been away from it for 7 years. Is there any snags I might run into by taking the online test over the regular 3 day classroom test
All opinions appreciated.

I am going through my AIC text, right now i have to explain the effects of the the GLB Act of 1999. The book say that one of the major effects of the Act was, and this is right out of the book,'...the act prohibits state actions that would prevent bank-related firms from selling insurance on the same basis as insurance producers.' I took that as Banking firms cannot sell insurance. I was on google and from what i found there, in most states Banks CAN now sell insurace. Is this a recent thing Th...

State Farm IDL 4112 3

IDL&8230;I know this is a coveted cert to have in your tool belt. I received a call today from a company I have signed up with (no calls for work yet) asking if I'd be interested in participating in the SF IDL class coming up on 4-15-09. As of today they don't have any locations set up yet for me to consider traveling to. I'll probably go even if it's a haul from MI. My question is this: I noted in some previous discussions that SF has the classes in many locations across the country. I gather ...
