How do I get experience as a claims adjuster?

Question

To get experience as a claims adjuster, you can begin an entry-level position with no experience. Most companies use entry-level claims adjuster positions as a training period to help you learn more about insurance, the claims process, and how to research events and determine whether or not to adjust the payout for any damage sustained.

The primary qualifications for becoming a claims adjuster with no experience are a bachelor's degree or associate's degree in business, criminal justice, or psychology.

However, you don't need a college degree to do the job (technically true), but it helps during the screening and interview process. It also helps to have some experience in a customer service role. It's not uncommon for someone to transition into claims adjusting from a different field.
