Eight Modules. One Outcome: Deployed.
Every module is built around real flood claims and the way carriers actually want them handled. No fluff. No filler. Just the skills that earn you re-deployments.
Work through 5 real-world flood claims start to finish. Each claim teaches you how to Inspect the loss, Write the estimate, and Finalize the file the way NFIP and the carriers expect. This is the heart of the academy.

Do I need to be a licensed adjuster before enrolling?
No. Plenty of students enroll while still finishing their license. You'll be ready to deploy the moment your license clears.
How long does the Academy take to complete?
Most students complete the core curriculum in 4–6 weeks at their own pace. The 1-on-1 coaching sessions with Mike are scheduled around your progress.
Is the training self-paced or live?
Modules are self-paced so you can move at your speed. Coaching sessions and community Q&A are live.
Will this help me get on a carrier roster?
Yes — Module 07 walks through deployment readiness and the exact carrier strategy our deployed adjusters use.
Is financing really available?
Yes. Click 'Apply for Financing' and you'll be routed to our financing partner. Approval is subject to their qualifications.
