What is your opinion of AEI and the SCLA program?  Do you have any experience or knowledge of the AIC program?  I am in the process of getting AIC designation but the Claims manager of an IA firm has his AIC and PCLA and his opinion is that the  PCLA is actually much better than the AIC.  In my case I already bought all the books for AIC and only need to pass 2 more exams and I already paid for 1 exam so I really will only need to pay for and pass the final exam for AIC so I will get the AIC designation.  But I would like your opinion on PCLA.  Did you take the CCLA too?  I believe my acquaintance told me the primary difference between AIC and PCLA was the coverage law.  I would also believe the AIC goes more into adjusting details than the PCLA.  As the Property Loss Adjusting course of AIC has over 170 pages on construction, materials, residential  component identification, how to measure concrete, paint, roofs, area, circumference,etc,,,,  so it is probably very good for an adjuster to take AIC to learn how to adjust as much as you can from reading books.  Anyway I look forward to your reply.
