For the
insurance professional
in Florida, education is an on-going requirement. The Florida
Department of
Financial Services recognizes that insurance
policies and the law are
constantly
changing and, that it is important for
adjusters to keep
abreast of
the latest developments. For that
reason, Florida claims adjusters must
complete 24 hours of continuing education every two years.
Course
requirements include 2
hours of Ethics, 10 hours of Law and 12 hours of Optional subjects.
Ethics
is the study of values,
right and wrong and decision-making as applied to the adjustment
of
insurance
claims. Courses in Ethics include materials that refer to cases and
court
decisions
that highlight disputes that occur
between claimants and
insurance
companies, as well as statutes
and penalties that may apply in the
event a
claims adjuster violates the Code of Ethics.
Courses
designated as 'Law'
generally refer to the application and changes in laws that apply to
property
and casualty claims. Optional courses are those which inform the
student about
subjects
more general in nature that have
application to the adjuster's
job
duties, such as stress on-the-job.
Continuing
Education
requirements may be completed in a live classroom setting by
