Perhaps you’ve worked a deployment or two and feel pretty good about your adjusting skills. But you don’t know what you don’t know.
Or maybe you’ve been at this long enough to be considered the seasoned expert. But you understand that the “greats” in any field train every day because unchecked ability can lead to comfort zones and blind spots.
During a CAT event, there’s not always time for the coaching and mentoring you’d like. But you can dive deep and hone your skills before the net deployment and ensure success for seasons to come.
Advanced Residential Scoping was developed in partnership with our carrier partners, delivering the same intensive curriculum we deliver to their staff teams throughout the year.
Isn’t time you got back in the classroom to refresh your skills and learn some new tricks?
There’s a sea of adjusters wanting that next deployment. Set yourself apart as a distinguished CATI Certified Adjuster. Potential employers and operations managers will know at a glance that you’ve completed our rigorous training and assessment.
CATI Certified Adjuster — Advanced Residential Scoping is a one-day certification assessment that is administered on Friday of the Advanced Scoping course week. Succeed in the assessment and earn the Residential Advanced badge that you can display proudly to showcase your professional achievement.
Spend five days with Xactimate Affiliate Trainers at our immersive training facility to elevate your skills and prepare you to engage confidently with policyholders and contractors.
In Advanced Residential Scoping, you’ll master efficient, accurate scoping and estimating, deepen your understanding of construction and damage evaluation, and produce estimates that withstand rigorous QA and file reviews.
Practice with real-world claim simulations in our mockup “neighborhood” of five houses, featuring authentic damage scenarios and diverse construction materials.
The program includes on-demand training before and after your in-person sessions, providing a comprehensive learning experience.
Through this course, you will learn:
CLASS TIME: 5 DAYS
CLASS LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE – ADVANCED

Advanced Residential Scoping is best for adjusters with some experience in the field or as desk adjusters. Your prior experience will enable you to leverage your existing skills to greater mastery.
While the practice work is oriented toward field adjusters, we strongly encourage desk adjusters and examiners to attend. Your competence at the desk and confidence in discussing the claim will grow as you better understand the components of your field adjuster reports.
This course will enhance the skills of virtual estimators as well.
Prior Xactimate estimating experience or training is essential, however.
Emerging adjusters who have completed CATI’s Residential Essentials may still benefit from this next-level training even if they have not yet had claim handling experience, though it will stretch you!
Participants in this course will write Xactimate estimates beginning on Day 1 of class. This course is designed to hone your Xactimate skills in live claim simulations but assumes you already have skills with the software of at least a proficiency level.
As such, as a prerequisite to taking Residential Essentials, participants MUST complete CATI’s Xactimate X1 Skills Lab course OR hold Xactimate Level 2 certification.
If you will not be taking CATI’s Xactimate X1 Skills Lab, you must email a copy of your Level 2 certificate to training@eberls.com asap to verify your proficiency.
Participants in this course are assumed to be well-versed in the claim handling process, as well as scoping, measuring, sketching, and estimating.
In the absence of actual property adjusting experience, participants must have completed CATI’s Residential Essentials course.
There are no specific course pre-requisites for Xactimate X1 Skills Lab.
However, this course requires significant computer use. If you struggle with basic computer skills, you will be unlikely to succeed in this course—or the job of an adjuster.
To be successful, at a very minimum you will need:
Limited computer skills are one of the biggest reasons new adjusters are defeated in the field. We strongly urge you to be honest with yourself about your abilities and take a basic computer skills course before enrolling if these tasks are challenging to you.
CATI will provide all instructional material, computer and software, and scoping gear for Advanced Residential Scoping.
You will need to provide the following:

Advanced Residential Scoping is designed as an immersive hands-on course that will equip adjusters with real-world skills by providing a real-world training environment.
To maximize the practical application of residential adjusting skills, some portions of this course are provided as on-demand content to prepare students for class and help support them following the training.
However, to complete this course, you must attend the in-person training in its entirety at our Dallas training campus.
This course is eligible for 24 General Texas Adjuster CE hours. You must have your Texas license before the start of class to be eligible for CE hours.
CATI Certified Adjuster — Advanced Residential Scoping is a credential conferred on individuals who complete the Advanced Scoping course and pass a rigorous hands-on assessment conducted by the CATI training staff. CATI works with Credly Acclaim to administer and validate digital credentials.
This certification can be included on your resume, adjuster profile, LinkedIn profile and anywhere else you promote your skills as an adjuster.
A certification from CATI tells potential employers that you have successfully completed Advanced Scopig training at CATI and have demonstrated a high level of proficiency in Xactimate, scoping, and estimating along with customer service savvy and that you are ready to deploy as a standalone adjuster for homeowners claims.
This certification is earned through an assessment held at our Royal Lane campus in Dallas at the conclusion of the Advanced Scoping course. You must pass the assessment with a score of 70% in order to receive the certification.
