ESC's newest blogs feature discussions on the differences between the roles of an independent insurance adjuster and the roles of a staff claims adjuster.
CLERMONT, Fla., April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Clermont, Florida based Educational Services & Consulting (ESC) announces the launch of their April blog series. Co-Owner and Chief Strategy Officer, Natalie Zimmerman, states "The world of insurance can be complex. We receive inquiries regularly from individuals looking to make a career change. One of the most common questions asked is about the differences between an independent insurance adjuster and a staff claims adjuster. While both positions require individuals to have their all-lines adjuster license, there is a significant difference in the roles and responsibilities for each position. As an independent insurance adjuster individuals handle claims for several firms as opposed to working with a single firm. A staff claims adjuster works for a single firm and handles only their firm's claims. As an independent, you would be covering a territory and be working directly in the field that could stretch for miles and even hours to cover the entire territory."
In their blog series, ESC discusses the differences between the two different types of adjuster positions. They also discuss skillsets needed to work in each role, the benefits, the pay differences and the type of license needed. Zimmerman adds "Both the independent insurance adjuster and the staff claims adjuster positions require individuals obtain to their all-lines adjuster license. To earn this, candidates must earn their 6-20 Accredited Claims Adjuster designation which is one course we offer online. Once individuals take our 40-hour online course and pass our exam they will be eligible for their state license which grants them their all-lines adjuster license. By taking our online course the Florida state exam is waived. We make it extremely easy and affordable for individuals looking to make a career change and become an adjuster."

Educational Services & Consulting offers a 40-hour self-paced online course for individuals looking to earn their 6-20 Accredited Claims Adjuster (ACA) designation. ESC also offers a 40-hour self-paced online course for individuals looking to earn their 4-40 Registered Customer Service (RCSR) designation. Both of these courses offer an online final exam and when passed candidates can apply for their license. Once individuals pass the end of course final exam they are exempt from having to take the state licensing exam.
Educational Services & Consulting has partnered with several colleges and universities over the years to assist educational institutions with expanding their course offerings. Enrolled college students can take either of ESC's online designation courses through their school. Students register for the ESC courses as any other college class and ESC offers a revenue share to the participating schools.
Zimmerman adds "It's a win-win for the schools to participate in a revenue share with us. For every student that registers in either of our courses we pay the school back per student. The school does not have to facilitate the technology for the courses or offer faculty to teach. We handle all of those details. We rely on the schools to feature our courses in their course catalogues, and we do the rest. It's that easy!"
In addition to their educational partnership program, ESC also partners with all branches of the U.S. military. Both the 6-20 Accredited Claims Adjuster designation and the 4-40 Registered Customer Service designation courses have been very attractive opportunities for military personnel who are retiring or taking an active leave. The ACA designation has been most popular with military personnel in part due to the roles and responsibilities as an All-Lines Adjuster. Over the years ESC has had several military personnel earn their ACA designation and eventually work as an independent insurance adjuster with great success.
Educational Services & Consulting has a robust blog on their website, https://escconnected.com/blog/, that offers a variety of information. Different topics are discussed such as "How Do I File A Car Accident Claim?", "I've Had An Auto Accident, How Can An Accredited Claims Adjuster Help Me?", "What Credentials Are Needed To Become An Accredited Claims Adjuster?" and several other topics.
