Independent Adjusting Fast Track Program

Vale Training has designed this specialized hybrid program for early-career, licensed Independent Adjusters to participate in graded, self-paced training program followed by an intensive 5-day hands-on session at our Arlington, Texas facility.

The training will start with a refresh on basic property claims fundamentals followed by active adjusting, estimating and reporting with our trainers.

Please note the online portion of this program is approximately a 20-hours prior to an approximate 40-hour live training regimen at the Vale facility.   This unique program will cover the following:

• Learn how to read and apply the language in the ISO Homeowners (HO3) policy.
• Coverage application and structural estimating using workshops and claim scenarios.
• Prepare damage estimates, practice reporting and produce statements of loss.
•  Understand basic exclusions and endorsements; and ensure a comfort level in creating a non-complex estimate.

Upon successful program completion, the student will have the basic skills necessary to analyze and apply property coverages, be able to investigate the cause of loss, prepare an electronic estimate, and prepare a report package.   Vale’s Independent Adjusting Fast Track Program certificate can be added to your career portfolio in Sedgwick’s Independent Resource Network.

*Please note students must share their license numbers and bring a device and an  account to a property estimating software to the class.  All claims that are written in class will be the property of the student and can be used as a future resource.

Audience – Licensed adjusters and claim service representatives who will be assigned property losses involving Homeowner and dwelling policies.  Attendees must complete all pre-work and be capable of writing an estimate in either Xactimate or Symbility.

Syllabus – Insurance Basics, Contracts, Property Coverages, Causes of Loss, Adjusting Losses, Investigation, Reporting, Good Faith Claims Handling and Structural Estimating.
