So, is this industry standard now? I haven't seen anything stating this is what all carriers accept. Until then, I don't think I will spend any money on it. Obviously many of us IA's are scratching to make enough money to pay monthly bills.

No this is not the industry standard yet. It is still being worked on but I can tell you Allstate has already gone on record that they will accept this certification.

But I do wanna make a point here, Who are you to down this concept ? You state "Obviously many of us IA's are scratching to make enough money to pay monthly bills." This is precisely why many people including Deb Moroy(ClaimSmentor founder) have been working behind the scenes to try to stop this ridiculous flood of multiple certifications required to be a player in this industry.

This certification is designed to superceed all of these "other" certs and is designed for YOU so you won't have to spend all of this money every year on travel, lodging and course cost. She is busting her hind end to help all IA's including new IA's by standardizing ONE certification that ALL carriers will accept. 
 

You are obviously IGNORANT to the fact that not all people just hang around and $%^& about all of these certs sprouting up everywhere that are now required for us to have, SOME PEOPLE ARE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Instead of clowning this concept , how about "this is a great idea , It will go a long way in helping us financially!"

I am trying to to make as many post and throw bombs. I think this is the best thing I have seen in 20 years. I don,t think ANY insurance company gives a twitt about about "certifications" from a non sponsered for profit school.I know a lot of carriers that REQUIRE the vendor to screen, invite and weed out the ones who don,t fit the bill, but "they do not call this "you are certified". It means we will give you a shot as one of our SCREENED vendors invested "their" money in you, I was told by State Farm I was not certified; but I worked several years for them as an un-certified older adjuster.

First of all, I wasn't in any way "downing" the concept. I was merely stating that because there are so many other certifications out there today, most of us don't have the money to be spending on anything until we can be sure it will be something we can use down the road. I am glad that Deb, Crawford/KMC, etc, are trying to do the right thing for us. Yes, it is a great idea if it comes to fruition. That is why I was asking about it being standardized. This forum is a place for us to ask questions and post opinions as we wish.

Second, I don't believe I am ignorant. I am aware that there are many people on this forum that do nothing but complain. I am not one of those people. I try to keep a positive attitude about my job. You know as well as I do that it is hard when there are so many different certs out there that we are required to obtain while sitting and waiting for work.

Last, you seem to get your panties in a wad too quickly on this forum. Please take a chill pill.

You know what ??????

You my friend are absolutely right !!! However I do not wear panties, but you are correct we are all allowed to state our opines.

I only jumped not just down your throat but a few because people seem to just view this as another way to separate adjusters new and old with their money. I have told many about this and even my own  co workers are kinda poo pooing all over this.

I knew Deb was working on this for a bit but didn't really think something like this could happen, but it's here and some heavy hitters are coming on board.

If carriers continue to come on board, this is a huge step in the right direction. Anything that can help our IA's like this is a good thing.

I have swallowed my chill pill my friend :-) 

I noticed on the linked article that it was sponsored by the AICPCU.  Does this mean the PTC will be available through the AICPCU or was it simply an ad embedded in the article?
