Whilst the above mentioned schools are light years ahead of the 3 day turn and burn revenue streams for the State
you MUST understand the amount of knowledge required to become licensed and even the amount of knowledge required to succeed at Vale and the like is but a drop in the bucket on what's needed to successfully navigate the Adjusting industry
What counts the most is not where you get licensed but what you do after you are cut loose.
DON"T get caught up in the BS certification mill
study policy religously, HO and DP , become STRONG in whatever adjusting software is required which in most cases will be Xactimate, basic, intermediate and advanced classes, take em' all
Listen to those who have been before you, do what you have to do to get some field experience
What works for some does not work for all, so listen to anyone willing to talk and take parts of that and make it work for you.
Estimate your own home , your neighbors, learn how to scope a roof in this order of importance, Safely , Accurately , Efficiently
Whilst only a few measurements are needed for a roof scope on Xactimate and now with sat tech being perfected to a viable alternative to measuring a roof, YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO MEASURE A ROOF WITH A PEN, PAPER, A TAPE MEASURER AND A CALCULATOR.
If you can do all of this, you will put yourself in the top 20 % of new adjusters and when you get that oh so exciting first deployment, treat that for what it really is,
A TRY OUT
Remember that you never get a second chance at a first impression and that goes X10 for the adjusting industry
