2023 Claims College
2023 School of Casualty Claims
“After 28.5 years in the claims industry, I thought all courses in Level 1 were great. Looking back, I'm glad I opted to attend instead of simply test out of Level 1. It gave me opportunity to add insight to younger adjusters in the class and share my experiences.”
