DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A CAT ADJUSTER?

How would you like to work for yourself, make your own hours, help people around the country, and gross $70,000 – $100,000 in 6-8 months? Well before you run out and buy an adjuster jacket, you need to answer several questions.

  • What is a catastrophic insurance adjuster?
  • Do I have what it takes to be a CAT adjuster?
  • Where do I find proper training, licensing, and mentorship?

What is a Catastrophic Insurance Adjuster?

When a natural disaster  (hurricane, flood, hail storm, etc.) hits a residential area, insurance agencies need to send out CAT adjusters to assess the damages to their insured customers in order to get them the compensation they need to rebuild their homes and their lives. The adjuster will estimate the damage and report back to the contracted insurance agencies and an in office adjuster will determine the actual compensation that the insured will receive. Sounds easy right? Not so fast. Now you need to ask yourself if you have the characteristics that are necessary to be successful in the field.

Do I Have What it Takes to be a CAT Adjuster?

What are the defining traits of a successful catastrophic insurance adjuster? Self-motivation, organization, hard work and dedication are all key to achieving success in the field for you and the agencies that you are contracted to represent. A storm deployment will test you on all of these character traits. If you have the resolve, you will be rewarded.

Where Do I Find Training, Licensing, and Mentorship?

BEST VOCATIONAL SCHOOL

Before you find out which educational curriculum provides the best vocational school, you need to know what vocation you want to study. Catastrophic (CAT) adjusting is a career you might want to consider when deciding your trade. Why? You can earn 6 figures in 6 months if you are dedicated and work hard.

CAT Adjusting

A CAT adjuster will go to catastrophic events (i.e. floods, hurricanes, major storms) and assess the damages of homes and commercial properties. They are independently contracted by the insurance companies to estimate how much money the carriers will pay on those damages, according to the homeowners policy. CAT adjusters typically work during the storm season, which lasts about 6-8 months a year. They are paid per the insurance claim they are able to resolve for the carrier. So, if an adjuster is able to work hard and close out claims, there is a very high earning potential.

 

Because of the unusual work conditions, these types of adjusters are a rare breed. You must be well trained and well prepared to deal with the reality of a catastrophic event, much less work in it. Catastrophic adjusters work long hours and long weeks estimating customer compensation.

 

In order to be successful as a catastrophic claims adjuster, you need to have the proper licensing and training. So, where do you find the best vocational school for CAT adjusting?

(VAS) Veteran Adjusting School

VAS is the best vocational school for claims adjuster training. With 15 partner firms, VAS has a 100% graduation rate and a 96% job placement rate.

VETERAN TRAINING PROGRAM

Career for Veterans

Are you a veteran looking for a career that can utilize your unique skill set? Catastrophic (CAT) insurance adjusting is an ideal option for veterans.  A CAT adjuster will go to catastrophic events and estimate how much money insurance homeowners should be compensated under their policy. These adjusters can make 6 figures in one storm season. A storm season will typically last 6 – 8 months.

Going to a catastrophic event can be difficult for some people. It takes dedication and a good work ethic. With long hours and unusual work conditions, it takes a certain breed to handle the job. That is what makes this job such a great fit for veterans. The military consistently produces people with a great work ethic in the toughest of conditions.

With CAT adjusting, you make money based on the claims you close. So, you basically earn money based on how hard you are willing to work. That is why it is typical for a CAT adjuster to average “6 figures in 6 months.” The qualities of an adjuster that can do well in this field are self-motivation, organization, hard-work, and dedication.

Demand for CAT Adjusters Rising

Natural disasters and catastrophic events are on the rise with no signs of slowing down. The increase in severe weather conditions is creating a high demand for qualified and fully trained catastrophic insurance claims adjusters.
