Don’t Take Our Word for It
Unsure of what Claims College can do for your career? We asked several recent graduates from the School of Casualty Claims to explain why they sought out the CCP designation and what they found most rewarding. Here are some of their responses:
• “I sought out the School of Casualty Claims because it can be difficult to build professional contacts for this specialty work,” said Marie Nolan, McLarens. “It was really interesting to see how different people in very different roles—adjusters, insurers, investigators—process the work, organize their thoughts, and work through the case studies. I got a much better appreciation for the other roles involved in casualty work.”
• “The School of Casualty Claims was recommended by my coworkers and supervisors,” said Dylan Slade, AXIS Insurance. “Performing a live claim review with my peers was the most rewarding part.”
• “I wanted to become more knowledgeable in [casualty] claims handling, gain different perspectives, and develop ways of thinking outside the box while showing my dedication to the profession,” said Shandra Hickman, Crum & Forster. “I feel better equipped to handle casualty claims from start to finish now. The little bit of extra confidence I gained is very rewarding, and I also met a lot of really great claims professionals from all over.”
• “I wanted to expand my knowledge further and seek expertise outside my organization,” said Lorena Escobar, Amica Mutual. “Interacting with fellow litigation professionals and educating myself outside of my normal scope of claims was the most rewarding part.”
