Storm Ready Adjuster Class 2026

Who is this Class for?

This class is for new adjusters who don’t want to waste years learning the ins and outs of the trade. Got your adjuster’s licence? Take this class to make real money right away.

This is not just another Xactimate class, this is a complete, real-world training designed to prepare you for actual deployment.

This is a 3 Day, In-Person

Class hosted in Dallas, Tx.

Over three days, you’ll learn how to go from licensed to storm-ready, with the systems, workflows, and confidence needed to handle claims in the field.

Learning what you need to know about Xactimate is only one important part of this class. You’ll be trained in real claim scenarios, full estimate workflows, and the exact processes used by working CAT adjusters. This includes how to scope losses properly, build accurate estimates under pressure, manage files efficiently, and avoid the common mistakes that slow down new adjusters or cost them money. You’ll also gain insight into deployment logistics, communication with carriers, and how to position yourself to get on rosters and stay deployed.

Includes: Storm templates and Macros; Adjuster Field Guide, 1 Live Storm Help Session (1 Hour)

Why You Should Take This Course

Most training programs teach you how to use the software — but they don’t teach you how to work as an adjuster. This course bridges that gap. If your goal is to actually get deployed, write estimates, and generate income during storm events, this training gives you the practical knowledge and strategy to make that happen.

Storm deployments can create life-changing income opportunities, but only for those who are prepared. This course is designed to give you a clear path forward, eliminate guesswork, and help you step into the field with confidence. Instead of figuring it out the hard way, you’ll learn from real-world experience and proven workflows that translate directly to performance.

What Makes This Different

This training is built by an active Xactimate Certified Trainer with real CAT experience — not just theory. Every part of the course is focused on what actually happens in the field, from your first inspection to closing claims efficiently and getting paid.

You’re not just learning how to write estimates — you’re learning how to operate as a professional adjuster in a high-demand environment. By the end of the course, you’ll have the tools, structure, and mindset to take advantage of storm opportunities and move forward with confidence.
