We’re very pleased to announce that AdjusterPro is now offering the one and only state-approved Indiana Adjuster PreLicensing Course. This has been in the works for some time now and we’re thrilled to be partnering with the Indiana Department of Insurance to help meet the new prelicensing needs of independent adjusters operating in the Hoosier State.

The Indiana Independent Adjuster PreLicensing course offered through AP will be offered in a traditional classroom setting as well as 100% online. Here’s a look at the two course options:

About a month ago, we unveiled an exciting alternative to our traditional classroom package – the Online Total Adjuster Training Program. We believe strongly, based upon industry trends and customer feedback, that this 100% online program represents the future in licensing, certification, and training in adjuster education.
