I highly recommend it to anyone who needs this license. Was this review helpful? Your course was very beneficial. Everyone knows how tough the New YOrk exams are to pass so I was nervous. After this course I felt the New York exam was fairly easy. Best money I've spent! Broderick Was this review helpful? So pleased with this course. It gives you detailed instructions so you know exactly what to do to pass. I do not have good study skills so this course was exactly what I needed and I passed the state exam!

Chambers Was this review helpful? I was worried about submitting a ticket to get my questions answered but this team does a great job getting back to you quick!

I always got a curteous answer to my questions within a few minutes of sending the ticket. The course was great and I got through it in about 2 weeks. Cooper Was this review helpful? Hate the help team!! They talk down to people and should not be allowed to be in business any more!

Regardless of how you get your auto claims training, there are four key things you need to learn. These are the essential keys to your future career and the entire purpose of going through a training course. If you are looking for a low cost option to start learning, I published the auto estimating manual I give my mentored students. You can grab a copy on Amazon. Once you have decided how you want to be trained as an auto damage appraiser, you are ready to start building your business and to start your journey to becoming an auto damage appraiser.

Nobody likes when I say this three-letter word, IRS, but they play a major role in your business. By setting up your company correctly first by getting an EIN , you will avoid some major headaches later down the road.

There are many companies online that will help you file your LLC quickly. Companies like LegalZoom. I used IncFile. It made the process easy, and I recommend them.

There are some advantages to incorporating as a corporation instead of an LLC , but if you want to go through that headache, talk to your accountant.

I am not good with accounting. You are now able to open up a bank account for your business legally. This step is important because you need to separate your business income from your finances for tax purposes. Let me stress this point; do not receive business income directly into your banking account! Your business account needs to be separate from the account you already use to pay for groceries.

Your company is an LLC. You are a separate entity from your company. Without an account used only for your business, you will encounter many headaches.

I know I did…. They may ask you what limits you need to do. However, for now, find out what is standard. Go ahead and raise them; you are going to need it. Also, acquiring Errors and Omissions insurance is highly recommended because it protects you if you make a mistake, and someone sues you over your mistake. Errors and Omissions help protect professional advice, service providing individuals, and companies from bearing the full cost of defending against a negligence claim made by a client and damages awarded in such a civil lawsuit.

Of course, those are just the bare bones. Learning how to do the job of an independent auto damage appraiser or adjuster is not as easy as some would think.

No matter how you got trained its time to wrap up your training and officially open up your appraisal business! Congratulations, you are now open for business! Just like if you had opened a local bakery, nobody knows that you bake cakes unless you tell them.

The same goes for being an IA. Nobody knows that you handle claims, or are even willing to handle claims unless you tell them. Self-promotion is part of our job as independent business owners AKA independent auto damage appraisers. In Phase 1, you laid out the foundation for your business and career; now it is time to start working on what your prospective clients and peers will see. During Phase 2, I will help you to increase the odds in your favor by giving you the promotional edge.

It is now the time in the Path to learn the estimating software for writing claims. Well, the reason why you want to train on this before promoting yourself to people is simple: People are going to ask if you know how to write on CCC One or Audatex?

Need help deciding which software to learn? You can look at the infographic below for a breakdown on the benefits of each. Now, this step is optional, but I highly encourage it. Then the adjuster settles the claim based on the appraisal. Many states require adjusters to hold both licenses if they want to work on both parts of the claim — the appraisal and the settlement.

Two states, Connecticut and South Carolina, require adjusters to hold both licenses to work on any part of an auto claim.
