Education Level

Education training and experience are required at different levels for success in different occupations.

Post-secondary training, plus work experience

Auto damage appraisers typically have either a postsecondary nondegree award or experience working in an auto repair shop, identifying and estimating the cost of automotive repair. Many vocational schools and some community colleges offer programs in auto body repair and teach students how to estimate the cost of repairing damaged vehicles.

Extra Requirements

Licensing requirements for claims adjusters, appraisers, examiners, and investigators vary by state. Some states that require licensing also require a certain number of continuing education credits per year to renew the license. Examiners working on auto claims must be familiar with new car models and repair techniques.
