Xactimate Live Classroom Training |
*New! -Due to the popularity of our virtual class and the rising costs of hotels and travel, we have temporarily suspended our in-person class.
Xactimate (XM8) Enhanced Training - Live In-Person Classroom Training
Our enhanced XM8 Training program will take you from the beginning to deep into the uses of Xactimate so that you can fully utilize the tools available to you to not only learn to use the program, but to work as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Desktop training allows you to fully understand the XM8 program and understand its’ functions while Mobile & Lidar allows you to eliminate traditional duplication of work such as hand drawing and then sketching it in XM8 or taking photos and spending hours organizing and labelling those photos. Imagine going into a house and within 5 minutes or less having sketched that room, photographed and labelled the photos. You can create the estimate while you are there with the use of macros, or, if it’s a large estimate, upload it back to your desktop to finish the claim at your home or office. Leaving the house with the sketch completed and the photos taken and labelled is HUGE! Your field time is reduced significantly. And it eliminates errors.
Desktop training is learning to drive, XM mobile is driving it in a Ferrari. Watch the following videos from left to right to see the power of our enhanced training.
Xactimate Professional is required for the Enhanced training class and is available in a 30 day free Demo from Xactimate.
