Disclaimer
The catastrophe adjusting industry is dependent upon weather events that damage resident ad commercial properties. This translates to seasonal, inconsistent work and a potential for abnormal work hours as necessary to produce a finished claim report. Our goal, at the Amcat Education Center, is to deliver honest and accurate training for the “real world” adjuster. We are committed to the success of the Independent Adjuster and Amcat’s Operations.
We will conduct classes in a professional manner. Please help us provide an environment that is conducive to learning and concentration.
Students who successfully complete an Amcat Training class will receive a Certificate of Completion and score that are highly regarded in the industry as demonstration of their competency and proficiency relating to the course curriculum.
The successful completion of an Amcat Training class in no way implies or guarantees that the graduate will automatically receive an Amcat Independent Contractor Agreement (IA Contract) and a position on the Amcat Adjuster Roster. Selected individuals MAY receive an invitation to join Amcat based upon their cumulative evaluation.
Amcat holds the right to objectively and subjectively evaluate a student. Evaluation parameters include but are not limited to: Software knowledge, character and professionalism, and coursework averages.
Largely mandated by our clients, Amcat has strict requirements relating to criminal background checks. This criterion does not prohibit participation in classes or receipt of the Amcat Certificate of Completion. While opportunity with Amcat may be limited by this principle, the same contracting values for background checks will vary from firm to firm and may afford the student opportunities with other Adjusting companies.
Refund Policy
Tuition may be refunded up to 7 days before the beginning of a class and upon return of all class material. If an adjuster is unable to attend a selected AMCAT course, they may within one year, reschedule the course or select a different course with the same tuition. Amcat may cancel any training at any time; reasons for canceling training would include: lack of attendees, weather and instructor availability or any other circumstance beyond our control. As best practices, Amcat will try to communicate a cancelled course on our website, by e-mailing the student or by phone prior to the course beginning.
