Hurricane Helene has left a heartbreaking mark on the west coast of Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Tennessee, causing widespread destruction that will take months, if not years, to rebuild. Homes have been leveled, businesses flooded, and entire communities displaced. As the waters recede, the immense task of rebuilding begins – and catastrophe adjusters will be at the forefront of these efforts.
Catastrophe adjusters are essential to helping communities recover, assessing damage, and ensuring insurance claims are processed quickly so that families and businesses can start to rebuild. With the vast amount of damage left behind by Hurricane Helene, there’s a tremendous need for more adjusters who can step in and help navigate the claims process.
How We’re Supporting Adjusters Ready to Help
In response to the urgent need for qualified adjusters in these impacted areas, we’re offering 15% off our adjuster licensing programs and Xactimate training. Use the code ADJUSTERSTRONG at checkout to apply the discount, available now through December 31st. Our goal is to make it easier for those who want to join recovery efforts to get the training they need and make a positive impact.
Licensing Options for Adjusters: Meeting the Needs of Impacted Communities
We offer licensing courses designed to help you get into the field quickly:
- Florida and Texas Licensing: These states are not only crucial for adjusters but also serve as excellent Designated Home State (DHS) options if you live in a state that doesn’t have its own adjuster licensing requirement. A DHS license in Florida or Texas provides reciprocal licensing opportunities in many other states, giving you greater flexibility to respond wherever you’re needed.
- Exam Prep Courses: For those who live in states with licensing requirements, we offer exam prep courses specifically designed for Connecticut, Kentucky, Louisiana, New York, and North Carolina. These courses provide everything you need to prepare for and pass your state exam efficiently.
We’re committed to helping you become licensed as quickly and smoothly as possible, whether you’re just starting out or expanding your credentials.
Xactimate Training: The Fastest Path to Field-Ready Skills
Proficiency in Xactimate is essential for adjusters when it comes to accurately estimating damage and processing claims. Our Xactimate training is designed to be the most efficient way to get you there, offering a 100% self-paced, video-based program led by an Xactimate Certified Trainer (XCT). Unlike other training options that require you to wait for a scheduled class or lock you into specific dates and times, our approach gives you the flexibility to start learning right away and progress according to your own availability. This means you can build practical, field-ready skills on your own schedule, without being tied down by rigid timelines.
Giving Back: Supporting the Recovery Effort Together
To support communities devastated by Hurricane Helene, we will be donating a portion of proceeds to UMCOR – United Methodist Committee on Relief. We chose UMCOR for their proven impact, holding an A+ rating with Charity Watch, with 97% of donations going directly to relief programs, and spending just $1.00 to raise $100.00 in contributions. They also meet all charity requirements with Give.org, the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance. This ensures that your support reaches those who need it most.
Why This Matters Now
The journey to recovery after a disaster like Hurricane Helene is never easy, but catastrophe adjusters are a lifeline for communities looking to rebuild and start over. By offering discounted training and licensing programs and by contributing to disaster relief efforts, we hope to support both adjusters eager to make a difference and the countless people affected by this devastating storm.
