What People Are Saying
-
"I recently took an Xactimate class taught by Jeff Perkins, and it was hands-down one of the best professional development courses I’ve experienced. Jeff is an outstanding instructor who brings a wealth of real-world knowledge to the classroom. Our class had a mix of semi-experienced users (like myself) and some that were brand new and we all finished the class feeling like it was tailored to us. If you have the opportunity to take a class with Jeff, do not hesitate - highly recommended!”ew List Item

"I took Jeff's Xactimate class and learned more in two days than I did trying to figure it out on my own for months. He explains things in a way that actually makes sense and gives real-world examples from the field. I left feeling way more confident using Xactimate and would definitely recommend the class."

"Jeff is a fantastic instructor who breaks down the complexities of Xactimate into easy-to-understand steps. His hands-on teaching style and sharing his personal experiences gave me the confidence I needed to accurately sketch and write estimates right away."
