What is XACTIMATE?Xactimate, created by Verisk, is the industry’s most popular claims adjusting software. Adjusters no longer have to write claims by hand, reference pricing books, and use calculators to perform a complete estimate. The Xactimate platform has automated most of those tasks, enabling the adjuster to perform inspections and adjustments much faster. The software was designed specifically for construction professionals, restoration specialists, and claims adjusters. Xactimate helps adjusters: Save time and money in creating estimates Create more accurate, detailed, and professional-looking estimates Access the most up-to-date and reliable pricing information Sketch complicated roofs, rooms, layouts, and structures Automate and streamline your estimating processes Organize and manage your projects Overcome language barriers in preparing estimates See a complete list of features at Xactimate.com

Is this training for everyone?Our Xactimate level 1 and 2 course is intended for adjusters and estimators with little to no prior Xactimate training or experience. The training will start at the very beginning and work through key fundamental processes to help you accurately estimate losses. Our level 3 course is recommended for adjusters who have completed their level 2 certification and have prior field experience. This class is for seasoned estimators with a focus on learning how to use various advanced system features. Xactimate proficiency is a must.

What is XACTIMATE Certification?Verisk, the creator of Xactimate, offers a controlled exam to independently verify your product knowledge and proficiency. There are three levels of certification: Level 1 – Fundamentals, Level 2 – Proficiency, and Level 3 – Mastery. Each level increases in difficulty and is considered a prerequisite for the next level. Details on how to become certified are available on the Xactimate Training Website. Although Verisk is not the only program that can be used to certify the proficiency and knowledge of users, it is often viewed as the Gold Standard in the industry. Our training is designed to meet the standards established by Verisk and to help prepare you to achieve your Level 1, 2, or 3 certifications.

Will XACTIMATE work on any computer?Unfortunately, no. Xactimate and other Verisk products are not supported on MacOS Operating Systems. This means if you have a device that uses the MacOS operating system (mainly Apple desktop and Apple laptop computers), the Xactimate software will not be compatible or useable on that computer. Xactimate does work on most other desktops and laptops that use the Windows operating system. We do recommend you take our course on a windows-based computer as that is what our instructor, as well as most employers, will be using to operate Xactimate. To see a complete list of accepted device types and operating systems, visit the Xactimate Systems Requirements page.

Do you offer any reference material with this course?Yes. When you go through our training, you will receive our Xactimate Training Manual with screen prints on how to use various features within the system and hours of practice exercises on roofs, rooms, and elevations that grow in complexity. Throughout the class and afterwards, our instructors are available to assist you in using the various estimating system features.
