This 3-month pathway focuses on training individuals to evaluate and resolve third-party auto claims involving damage to vehicles and other property, with an emphasis on clear communication, accuracy, and customer service.  

Key Responsibilities 

• Foundational Learning: Participate in structured training that includes classroom instruction, digital coursework, and live sessions focused on liability claim fundamentals, customer service, and systems navigation.

• Investigation and Liability Evaluation: Learn to conduct basic investigations by reviewing statements, photos, and police reports to determine fault and evaluate exposure under the policy. 
• Customer Communication: Provide professional, courteous, and timely updates to claimants, clients, and service providers. Begin practicing effective communication that supports trust and transparency. 
• Vendor Coordination: Coordinate with repair shops, rental providers, and appraisers to ensure timely resolution of automobile property damage claims. 
• Coverage Review 
• Documentation and Systems Use: Maintain organized and compliant claim files, accurately documenting all interactions and decisions in the claims management system. 
• Compliance and Best Practices: Follow company protocols, policy guidelines, and claim best practices while applying what you’ve learned from training and coaching to real claim scenarios.
