Umm, Larry (D)...I can't remember for sure, but what level of proficiency was it you achieved at bait school?

I have always excelled at tests. Just like I am certified as a Master Auto Technician, I attained the same level of expertise at bait school. Larry D Hardin

Mike, As you know, Larry H fills in between cat assignments at the massage parlor. And you have to ask the level of profeciency he achieved at bait school? Larry, Times are tough, by bank went belly up and my insurance company just got a $5 Trillion bailout from you and the rest of your working buddies out there. Not sure I can afford Miller Lite as the credit market is rather tight. You may have to settle for Old Milwaulkee or Buttwiper. No one is absolutely worthless, at the very least you can serve as a bad example.

I had the same question about getting certified by big companies--but now I am really, really confused. Can any of you veterans tell me if this is true: one potential employer said they do a lot of SF work, so that before you work any SF claims for them, you need to be SF certified. Side question: is the Xactimate Level 1 (or 2 or 3) certification worth anything to a potential employer?

It never hurts to have the State Farm certification, but I believe you have to go through a vendor to get the certification. You don't just call up State Farm and say, "How do I get certified." I believe their approved vendors enlist you and sponsor you for the IDL broadcast, then you take the certification tests. At least that is how they did it back in the dark ages when I worked for them. Steve Ebner CPCU AIC AMIM "With great power comes great responsibility."

It is still that way. You have to attend the IDL broadcast first, then take the exams..

I read recently that the IDL's will now be offered only at the vendor's location, not at SF offices. The vendor stated they would hold the IDL, class & testing together over 2 days. That makes more sense, since you always had to go to the vendor for the testing anyway. When took it we had to drive 8 hours to the IDL in N Florida and then had to go to TX for the testing.

There is no 'certification' for Allstate. They use one vendor and that vendor runs 'evaluation' sessions to see if you're qualified to be an Allstate adjuster. The evaluations are free and by invitation only. You get the invitation by applying for it. Once you're working for them you'll be evaluated and get a rating. The higher the rating the more work you'll get. Unless, of course, it's a busy year. In that case if you can fog a mirror you'll get work.
