This Xactimate Online Course (Level 1 & 2) teaches students how to write property damage estimates using Xactimate. Students will learn how to use Xactimate to create scaled diagrams, repair models and distribute estimates with professional print reports. Digital workbook included (usually sent 1-2 days prior to class). Students also receive a coupon code for a discount on Xactimate User Certification exams (purchased separately from Xactware)!
This course is presented online as a webinar. The instructor is an Xactimate Certified Trainer (XCT) and has experience writing estimates for both insurance and restoration companies, which proves a valuable reference for attendees on gaining practical, field-based instruction. This online class is approved for insurance and IICRC continuing education credit. See the continuing education (CE) credit section below for specific approvals.
From the beginning of class, we start writing estimates, including utilizing sketch for interior dimensioning, locating and identifying appropriate line items based on the type of loss, delivering your estimates in professionally formatted reports, and much more. We use a hands-on approach to give you practice using Xactimate while in class, along with practical examples. These are live, instructor-led online courses. New users benefit from learning Xactimate from the ground up, including best practices and forming an efficient workflow from the beginning. Experienced and self-taught users learn to better utilize tools and features within Xactimate to increase their technical knowledge, speed and overall efficiency. Each course is conducted by an Xactimate Certified Trainer (XCT).
The course will also help attendees prepare for taking the Xactimate - Level 1 & Level 2 User Certification Exams.
