CLAIMS ADJUSTER TRAINING

Where is the best place to find claims adjuster training? Whether you want to be a day to day claims adjuster for a local insurance agency or you want to be an independent catastrophic insurance adjuster, VAS is the best choice for claims adjuster training.

What makes VAS the best school when it comes to creating fully trained adjusters? Four things:

  1. Job Placement – VAS works with more than 15 insurance partners to ensure that their students have employment right out of school.
  1. 100% Graduation Rate – Because VAS has a dedication to its students and insurance partners, they only accept students that are committed and dedicated to becoming a top insurance adjuster.
  1. Mentorship – VAS mentors students through licensing, software training, in-the-field training, and even helps the student after graduation with their initial claims to ensure the best work product.
  1. Tuition Assistance – As a VA approved postsecondary vocational school, VAS is qualified for tuition assistance for veterans of the armed forces. The school also has a program for tuition assistance for non-veterans.

Although the VAS 6-week course covers complete training for day to day claims adjusting, the school specializes in (CAT) catastrophe insurance adjuster training. Why? Because CAT adjusters make between $70,000 – $100,000 in 6 – 8 months depending on their dedication and ability to close claims. As it is said throughout the CAT adjuster community, “You can make 6 figures in 6 months.” Most are independent adjusters contracted with IA firms to estimate damages for homeowners based on their policy coverage.

Because they are contracted and make their own hours, a CAT adjuster must be hard-working, dedicated, organized, and self-motivated. This is one of the reasons VAS seeks out Veterans,as they come with a skill set ingrained through military training and service. However, anyone displaying these characteristics would make an excellent candidate for VAS and the catastrophic claims adjusting career.

VA APPROVED SCHOOL

Under the 9/11 GI Bill ® the VA will assist Veterans with school tuition for schools that have been approved by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. This means that if you are a Veteran of the armed forces you can have most of your schooling paid for at one of these schools. (VAS) Veteran Adjusting School is a VA approved school that was founded on the principle of helping Veterans become fully trained catastrophic insurance adjusters.

Why CAT Adjusting For Veterans?

Catastrophic insurance adjusting is an ideal fit for Veterans. A CAT adjuster will typically make between $70,000 – $100,000 in 6 – 8 months during the storm season. They make their own hours but must have a specific set of skills that are instilled at every level of the armed forces. A CAT adjuster must be hard-working, self-motivated, organized and dedicated.

What is CAT Adjusting?

When a catastrophic storm (hurricane, hail, etc.) hits a region, insurance companies need to send out independent contracted CAT adjusters to assess the damages to the policyholders’ properties. The adjuster will leave on a storm deployment going from house to house estimating how much compensation the homeowner is entitled to under their insurance policy. A catastrophic insurance adjuster is usually paid by the amount of claims they can close. This is why a more motivated individual can typically make 6 figures in 6 months.

Veteran Adjusting School

VAS is a 6-week intensive course that fully prepares students for storm deployment. With in-the-field training, software training, and mentoring (through and beyond licensing); it is the only VA-approved school for CAT adjusters. VAS has 100% graduation rate and 96% job placement rate. VAS works with Insurance Partners to ensure graduates will be hired upon graduation. In fact, many Insurance Agencies look for the VAS certificate to find adjusters that can deliver quality and comprehensive estimates.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A CAT ADJUSTER?

How would you like to work for yourself, make your own hours, help people around the country, and gross $70,000 – $100,000 in 6-8 months? Well before you run out and buy an adjuster jacket, you need to answer several questions.

  • What is a catastrophic insurance adjuster?
  • Do I have what it takes to be a CAT adjuster?
  • Where do I find proper training, licensing, and mentorship?

What is a Catastrophic Insurance Adjuster?

When a natural disaster  (hurricane, flood, hail storm, etc.) hits a residential area, insurance agencies need to send out CAT adjusters to assess the damages to their insured customers in order to get them the compensation they need to rebuild their homes and their lives. The adjuster will estimate the damage and report back to the contracted insurance agencies and an in office adjuster will determine the actual compensation that the insured will receive. Sounds easy right? Not so fast. Now you need to ask yourself if you have the characteristics that are necessary to be successful in the field.

Do I Have What it Takes to be a CAT Adjuster?

What are the defining traits of a successful catastrophic insurance adjuster? Self-motivation, organization, hard work and dedication are all key to achieving success in the field for you and the agencies that you are contracted to represent. A storm deployment will test you on all of these character traits. If you have the resolve, you will be rewarded.

Where Do I Find Training, Licensing, and Mentorship?

VAS is the only licensed postsecondary vocational school that provides full training, licensing, and mentorship for CAT adjusters. Located in Arizona, VAS has in-the-field training, Xactimate software training, mentorship through licensing (and past graduation), and provides you with a customized laptop and the tools that you need in the field.

BEST VOCATIONAL SCHOOL

Before you find out which educational curriculum provides the best vocational school, you need to know what vocation you want to study. Catastrophic (CAT) adjusting is a career you might want to consider when deciding your trade. Why? You can earn 6 figures in 6 months if you are dedicated and work hard.

CAT Adjusting

A CAT adjuster will go to catastrophic events (i.e. floods, hurricanes, major storms) and assess the damages of homes and commercial properties. They are independently contracted by the insurance companies to estimate how much money the carriers will pay on those damages, according to the homeowners policy. CAT adjusters typically work during the storm season, which lasts about 6-8 months a year. They are paid per the insurance claim they are able to resolve for the carrier. So, if an adjuster is able to work hard and close out claims, there is a very high earning potential.

 

Because of the unusual work conditions, these types of adjusters are a rare breed. You must be well trained and well prepared to deal with the reality of a catastrophic event, much less work in it. Catastrophic adjusters work long hours and long weeks estimating customer compensation.

 

In order to be successful as a catastrophic claims adjuster, you need to have the proper licensing and training. So, where do you find the best vocational school for CAT adjusting?
