BELFOR Franchise Group Claims Partnership aims to level playing field for insurance pros
Classes in the newly launched training program will more effectively prepare new employees for the field and upskill current team members
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- BELFOR Franchise Group, a global residential and commercial services provider, announces the launch of the Claims Partnership Program, a new platform that offers fully customized training opportunities tailored to meet the needs of property claims professionals of any skill level.
"The claims industry is undergoing a shift in experience, with seasoned veterans retiring and a new generation taking their place," said Ken Davis, Claims Partnership Manager at BELFOR Franchise Group. "There are new faces entering the industry, but their lack of tenure and knowledge can hinder the claims process, making a stressful situation even more stressful. We saw an opportunity to create a more effective training program and get them leveled up more quickly and efficiently."
Classes will be taught by experienced insurance and restoration claims professionals. Both virtual and in-person options are available for individual or entire teams. In-person sessions are held at BELFOR Franchise Group's world-class training facilities in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Over 50,000 square feet are dedicated to helping professionals learn and grow, including an IICRC ASD Certified Flood House and real-life portable scale kitchen and bath modules.
"We have an amazing program in place for our franchise owners, and we wanted to share that knowledge and world-class facility with our partners in the insurance industry," said Tim Fagan, president of 1-800 WATER DAMAGE and Blue Kangaroo Packoutz. "Effective training isn't a one-size-fits-all package, and our program offers hands-on opportunities and innovative techniques unlike any other. The Claims Partnership Program will help these experts level up their skills and give us a chance to work even more effectively together."
Available training programs include:
- Xactimate Basic, Intermediate & Advanced
- Symbility Training
- IICRC WRT – Water Damage Restoration Technician
- IICRC ASD – Applied Structural Drying
