wanting to become a licensed insurance adjuster in texas

Well, the community college may offer the course at lower rate. You may wish to check out with it. Also check for virtual classes available on net. These are specially designed for candidates who can't join the full time classes.

Almost all the licensing exams require forty hours of pre-licensing course in order to satisfy the licensing criteria.

There are some other important factors which have a pretty powerful influence over this process.Public adjusters would not investigate, instruct or adjust losses for the carrier or any self-insured. The marine surveyors are also not worthy of the licensing act since they would also not investigate, guide or adjust such losses.

JCREOLE, you have two options either you can enroll yourself for the 40 hrs pre-licensing course or can pass the state licensing test to obtain the license to operate as an adjuster in the state. You can check out with the community college for classroom training or can opt for an online course.

I got mine from cceducation.com Everything was online, self paced and cheaper than any other I could find.
It was recommended to me by my employer.

I suggest avoiding community colleges when obtaining your adjuster license and opt for a specialty school that crams licensing in a 4-6 day course. Becoming a WORKING independent adjuster is hard to do, the licensing is easy but getting into a storm with no real experience is next to impossible without knowing someone who is already in the industry. You WILL meet people at the specialty school who can face you in the right direction and give you many contacts and/or leads. Some schools even pair recent grads with seasoned adjusters during a storm so they can learn the ropes. You have to prove yourself to your field teacher to get the nod to get files of your own.

No one has touched on the software requirements. Without the software (xactimate) training you will never get storm duty. Some of the specialty schools also have cram classes for XM8.

Ive been an Independent for over 12 years and when the weather is nasty I make very nice coin. I love walking roofs and meeting new people. I also know that some years are very dead so you must save your hard earned loot for slow years. If you have any real questions about the profession give me a shout. gruvenhaus at gmail dot com.

I just wrapped up 4 weeks of work in Spring TX. and have enough coin put back to lounge around for 2 years, as I said, its a very good profession.

Hi Adjuster, I'm just curious to know why has to suggested the OP to avoid the community college. I've heard that they are pretty good and reasonable in terms of expenses.

In Texas you’re required to be licensed to operate as a public adjuster. Hence, you’re first step should include getting the license. And, therefore you either have to enroll yourself for the pre-licensing classes or have to take-up the state licensing test.

Hope this helps. :D
