Frequently Asked Questions


How long does it take to complete the course?
All of our courses are 100% self-paced and designed to fit around your busy schedule. You have lifetime access to the materials and can take as long as you like to complete each module. Some modules take longer than others; some may be viewed in 30 minutes or less, and others may take longer. You may get through the material at one sitting or break it up into several learning opportunities. It's entirely up to you how you choose to proceed. We encourage you to take your time, digest the material, and copy the forms, scripts, and databases to use as your own.
Who should take this training?
This training minds the gap in a field heavy on technical training but sadly lacking in communications, interpersonal skills, and business-building training. New loss control consultants stand to gain the most from this course, but there is a wealth of valuable information for the more seasoned consultant as well. Any loss control consultant looking to increase their professional skills, gain new clients, charge higher fees, or grow their business will gain the hard skills needed to expand their customer base and increase their revenue in this course.
Does this course teach me how to inspect buildings?
No. This course will NOT teach you the technical inspection skills needed to become an insurance inspector. You will NOT learn how to determine construction classifications, nor will you learn how to identify hazards or assess risks. This course is designed to teach you how to successfully operate and grow a loss control field inspection business.
How much experience do I need to benefit from this course?
All loss control consultants can benefit from this course. This course strips everything down to the basics and builds from there. Newer inspectors stand to gain the most, as they will learn valuable skills that many of us learned only through trial and error. But there's also much valuable content for the mid-to-senior level, more seasoned inspector, especially if he or she is looking to expand their business. New to the industry, retired and looking for part-time income? This course is perfect for you! Coming from an insurance, construction, or safety background? You will benefit too! New graduate with an entrepreneurial spirit? Check this out - you may have found the perfect independent opportunity. The FREE introductory module provides basic information that is particularly useful to the new inspector, but also serves as a refresher to the rest of us. The paid modules contain information of value to all levels - including senior inspectors. These courses are where you find the tools and systems that help grow your business and build your professional reputation. So...just starting out? This course is definitely for you! Been at it a while but not really growing? Yup! We've got something for you, too! Retired and looking for a flexible, part-time income? This course contains the tips to help you maximize your time in the field. We're excited to see the diverse backgrounds and hear the stories of our students. Welcome aboard!
How does this course help me earn more money?
Professionalism matters. Agents, brokers, and fee companies (vendors) want to work with loss control consultants who possess excellent customer service skills and who can have a positive impact on their insureds' customer service experience. This course reveals the three most common complaints lodged against loss control field consultants and teaches you the knowledge, skills, and tools you need to avoid each of those situations.
How does this course help me grow my business?
We've brought the knowledge together and placed it all into this one training course. You receive step-by-step instructions to create systems and habits that lead to success. The Doing the Work series teaches you the skills to deliver high-quality services that keep your customers happy and set you apart from the average inspector. The Running a Business series shows you where to look for new customers and how to reach them, as well as how to track metrics, maintain tax and accounting records, and more! Happy customers lead to more work, increased revenue, and a successful business.

No other course on the market is developed strictly for the benefit of teaching you, the commercial insurance inspector, the business-building skills needed to thrive as an independent business owner.
