The training, development, and overall education of claims adjusters has diminished over the years to become almost non-existent. The School of Workers Compensation provides In-depth training and education in the full scope of Workers Compensation law, including history and purpose, principles of compensable injuries and diseases, and basic defenses. The curriculum, theories, case scenarios, principles, and test questions were designed to be put to use on a daily basis. It will enhance your skill set, teach you to think outside the mainframe thinking, and provide tools to embrace the future and more empathetically manage claims to achieve successful outcomes.
