WHY LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2?

Why do most teachers teach a level 1 and level 2 class together for their live classes and not just level 1? I can’t speak for the other trainers, but I can give you my reason for not teaching just level 1 live. The answer is simple – level 1 doesn’t prepare you for the real world.
 
Level 1 is a fundamental approach to Xactimate (that’s why level 1 used to be called Fundamentals). It teaches you how to navigate the program, search for line items, prepare reports and some basic functions including basic sketch. So if you are only doing estimates on mobile homes for example, where all your rooms are square or rectangular and basic estimates, you may be ok. As soon as it gets a little complicated, you need level 2. As an adjuster or estimator, life is not that simple. Level 1 is simply an introduction into a much larger scope of work. Level 2 will get you ready for a large portion of what you will see in the real world.
 
So if you want to be a race car driver, don’t just learn the instrument panel and to turn the key. Learn how to punch that accelerator. Invest in your future.
