To meet the needs of today's p&c industry and advance your career, you must stay on top of industry best practices.

Our research tells us that adjuster positions are expected to rise in the coming years, and the need for highly trained, highly skilled adjusters will only increase. This gap is the reason why we created the 'Understanding' Series for Adjusters in partnership with the OIAA.

Who is the Understanding Series for?

The series has been designed specifically for adjusters but also with high applicability to other industry roles. It is intended for junior to intermediate claims professionals or those wishing to move into a claims role.
