PRICING FEEDBACK (I have increased the average labor rates in my area anywhere from 5%-38%). Hello all, We started using Xactimate last year in an effort to minimize haggling over repair cost's with insurance adjuster and companies. After getting started we started noticing that the price list Xactimate provided us was much different in cost's then price list's used by several insurance companies.
Frequently Asked QuestionsCan I REALLY learn online?YES. We shared the same concerns that you might have. We initially resisted creating these videos due to our concerns about the quality of learning that was possible for our students. Our roots are in the classroom, and we didn't want to sacrifice ANY of the retention or comprehension of the material by putting it on line. We tested and tested before making these videos available to the public, making changes along the way. We now have a product that can truly teach you Xactimate via video! We don't see value in Certification without actual comprehension (the Cert wouldn't mean much if you couldn't actually use the software).
A quick visit to our will confirm that these sessions are the real deal. In fact, most of our students have NEVER learned on line prior to taking our courses. With a 97% student retention rate, the material is being well received.
Give us a shot- with an Unconditional Money Back Guarantee, there is no risk at all. The only risk would be to sit there another day without learning this valuable information!. Why get Certified?It depends on how you use Xactimate.
The 3 most common user types are:. Adjuster- When deploying adjusters, the various firms are more and more requiring BOTH Level 1 & Level 2 User Certifications. This requirement is passed down from the Insurance Companies. In order to reduce turnover and increase individual success rates, they are now frequently requesting Xactimate certifications to deploy the most qualified individuals. For this reason, it is advisable for adjuster to get Level 1 AND Level 2 Certified. Contractor/ Estimator - When doing insurance work, it is a great idea to get AT LEAST the Level 2 certification. This puts you and your team in a category of skills that is likely higher than your competition.
In a world where it is more and more 'about the paper', having your team Xactimate Certified is a great way to market your company and create consistency amongst the team. Level 2 is the standard by which contractors are judged. If you really want to stand out, become Level 3 Certified. Looking for employment - For those looking for employment, being an Xactimate Certified estimator lets prospective employers know you take your skillset and education seriously. I am in constant contact with contractors and adjusting firms throughout North America, and they all tell me me that the User Certs put applicants at the top of the list. Levels 1 & 2 are a great minimum for job seekers.

'As a new adjuster I was looking for the best online training for Xactimate. I have gone through the paid online training through Xactware but felt it left a lot questions unanswered.
Not having the time to travel to a larger city for a 3 day course to learn the software I decided to give Chris' online training a try. Boy am I glad I did! After watching his beginner roof webinar and the level 1 user certification training webinar I am happy to say I feel much more confident with my Xactimate knowledge. I took and passed the Level 1 user certification just minutes after watching the webinar and it was a breeze. I look forward to watching more webinars and expanding my knowledge of the software. Thanks for making this valuable information available online!' Greg P.Greg P.
