Major Preston Sexton, USA Ret. – VAS graduate 2016
VAS is definitely as advertised. In fact, they probably offer more than you’re currently expecting from the training, mentoring, and resources aspect. Before attending the training I wouldn’t have believed I could have accomplished the objectives set out in the training. But through the knowledge of the instructors and the phenomenal way the training is delivered, even the most inexperienced person is provided with the tools needed to succeed. I am so grateful that VAS was available and that I was able to attend. The lessons were spot on and definitely have prepared me to be effective in the field right away.
As a Veteran, I was a bit nervous about my transition out of the military. When I started my research on future employment I had no idea what industry was right for me or the skills that I’d spent 20 years attaining. When I chose insurance adjusting I had no clue what that really meant until I came across the VAS website. From that point on the transition from Active Duty to VAS student to CAT adjuster has been an extremely smooth one.
If you are concerned about opportunities once you graduate from VAS, I’d acknowledge those concerns are warranted. However, trust the Instructors and former students when they say there are plenty of opportunities in this field. Whether you choose to work as an Independent Adjuster or as a Staff Adjuster (as I currently am), you will definitely be more than prepared, have skills above and beyond even some of the most seasoned adjusters, and have the opportunity to make GREAT money.
