The pre-license education requirements state that you must have 6 months of training. Obtaining an apprentice/trainee license will last 4 months and then the individual must wait two months to apply for an individual adjuster license.
In the event of a catastrophe, an individual that holds an adjuster license in their state can adjust a single loss in the state within a calendar year. The Director of Insurance requires a notice in writing of any adjuster who is looking to adjust in response to a catastrophe.
