Meet your instructor
Learn from experience—not just a manual
Bruce Authement is a Master Certified Xactimate Instructor, former president of the National Association of Catastrophe Adjusters, and an experienced catastrophe adjuster and trainer.
Bruce demonstrates each activity slowly, then works with participants as they reproduce it in Xactimate. Students can ask questions, use chat, or share their screens when they need help.
The class does not move forward until participants understand the activity and can complete it confidently.
Our teaching style

Every activity follows the same practical sequence so you understand both the reason for the workflow and how to perform it.

03
Perform the activity
Repeat the same steps yourself in Xactimate while the instructor is available.
04

Use conversation, chat, or screen sharing to resolve problems as they occur.
