Hello all. I just have a quick question. I was advised that in order to get my NC license, I will have to spend a certain amount of classroom hours, then take an exam. I just received an email for the NCDOI and was told if I wanted an adjuster's license, I just have to take the test. Am I missing something here?? Are there 2 types of licenses.....one an insurance and one an adjusters? Please advise on what the correct title of license it is that I need to obtain. Thank you all.

Perhaps on Monday morning early, you should call the North Carolina DOI and get the straight information from the horses mouth. Then report back here with what you have learned. Ol' Ghost

Hi V39, Here is a link you might find some additional info. What state are you located? If you have your own states lic., then you should be able to just apply for the lic. through reprocity. Let me know(virgo as well) know what you find out. Regards, William

Fire up your computer and go to www.ncdoi.com to get all your questions answered.
Here's what I found:
1) WHERE CAN I GET STUDY MATERIALS FOR THE LICENSING EXAMS?
The candidate guide contains content outlines and a listing of suggested study materials for all examinations. You can receive a candidate guide by calling PearsonVUE (formerly Promissor) at 1-800-274-0668 or accessing it on-line at www.pearsonvue.com. The candidate guide is provided free of charge.

CADO also provides a Licensing page where we have done some of the research for you. There is a map were you can click on the state to get some information, Also, on the licensing page we provide a special search box that searches most of the State DOI web sites at the same time.

Is this your first license? Or do you have licenses in other States? If you hold a license in a friendly (reciprocating State) you should not have to take a course or test. I recently got my NC, SC and GA license without having to take a course. I have only attended Texas course and have used it to bypass these courses in several States. Gees.. you will spend lots and lots of money unless you do your homework. I could tell you which license is needed, but you need to learn to research on your own if you are wanting to "Get in the Bidness"

I can assure you that I put a lot of time into researching everything in this career. I posts these questions because I have not been able to secure any valid information for most of my questions. Typically, people who are seasoned in a profession, thereby making them a professional, are more than accomodating to people just entering the field. I am not finding that to be the case on this site. A lot of the replies seem to note a bit of sarcacism and negativity. I need to know the answers from a "professional" in the "bidness" or I would not waste your time or anyone else who is seasoned in this profession.

If you read through the forum you will find that there are reasons for some of the sarcasm and negativity directed toward newbs. One of the forums biggest problems with newbs is their failure to use spell check before posting (Unless poking fun or being sarcacist ).

Virgo,
In the above posts you were given four websites and an 800 number.
Has your question been answered?
If so, you're welcome!
What was the answer?

If you put in a lot of time into research, then you will understand that one of the HUGE issues is where you live. Others explored this with you earlier, and you were no-where to be found. What is your state of residence? Are you seeking a non-resident license?
It is a shallow view that people here are not helping new people. You need to "take it on the chin" for providing part of the puzzle and disappearing when others were offering help. If you post something on a forum, watch for answers and respond - so a dialog can happen.

If you are in the field and struggling most every experienced old f*rt out there will take time to help you, no questions asked; and likely buy you a brew after. But if you come on here looking for a quick way to get rich with having to work, you better have a thick skin.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Virgo39 DO NOT be afraid to chip into a thread and show your IGNORANCE. At least you prove that you are not STUPID. Boys I will attest, when you chip into a thread, you are going to get a bloody nose, expect it. While seeming mean the COF's are testing you. If you cannot handle the pressure and sense of failure in these threads, I feel (might be wrong) you are NEVER going to handle the crap that will hit you in the face in the field, where everyone is under extreme pressure to produce. When you get onto a thread ask your question. There is NO STUPID or DUMB question, unless it is the same question you have asked before and DID NOT WRITE down the answer (if you FORGOT to write down the answer come back to the thread, ADMIT your error, drop your drawers for a DONKEY BAB-B-Q, and politeltly ask for that information again. A price is paid for everything one way or the other). Continue to ask and learn under adverisity. At some point if you can show some grit and inner fiber, with an appearance that you will not cut and run when the going gets tough, you might get lucky and have one of the COF's take you under his wing and show you the ropes, as the are really strung, over the nearest tree branch, in the field. I posted this sometime back. If you are on this site looking for information, guidence, etc. pay attention to the above. The senior people on this site, will help those that appear to want the help, but the testing to see if you are worth helping is tough. If you are serious about this field, dive in, get take your licks, and percevere.
