 Our Insurance Adjuster Training Classes Can Help New or Seasoned Adjusters 

Some people say the toughest job in the insurance industry is that of an insurance adjuster, but the job is also quite rewarding.

It’s often described as the toughest job in the industry because an insurance adjuster is almost always talking to someone that has experienced some form of loss or tragedy. It’s also not uncommon for those people that have suffered loss to expect a big settlement from their insurance company.

If the settlement isn’t as large as expected, the insurance adjuster generally takes the brunt of the client’s anger. But the job can also be extremely fulfilling.

Pacesetter Claims Service offers their Pacesetter Academy that can train you to become a better insurance adjuster through software, damage recognition, carrier certification, and on-site job training. The training is for when you already have your insurance adjuster’s license or are studying for the exam.

If you are considering becoming an insurance adjuster, there are some hoops you have to jump through like licensing, background checks, and some college credit. However, there are some states that don’t require licensing.
