Xactimate Self-Paced Training |
For those that can not take time to attend a live class, the Xactimate
( XM8 ) Self-Paced Training is perfect. The level 1 & level 2 classes have been split into numerous videos to allow short sessions so that any amount of free time can be used. The videos are numerically ordered to follow the live classroom agenda. Level 3 mastery course is also available to improve your skills with advanced techniques. Specialized classes for Interiors only, roofing only, desk adjuster (estimator) & Xactimate Mobile classes also available. The online self-paced training allows students to see how to perform functions one step at a time & follow along one step at a time. The videos were created with the same information as provided in the classroom and are timed so that students have time to follow along (although the videos can be paused, re-winded and replayed as many times as needed). Shortcuts are shown along the way to begin developing speed. Keyword searches are emphasized so that even those without construction backgrounds will be able to find estimate items. The videos are in order and range from 5-45 minutes to accommodate any schedule. The videos were purposely made shorter for easy reference when a refresher is needed or searching a particular item. A one year membership to Crest LLC is included for the course you registered for and the videos will be available for that year so that everyone has every opportunity to really excel at this program without having to repeat the class. The 30 day Xactimate free trial is no longer available from Verisk unless you register for training. But, as Certified Trainers, we can set you up with 30 days of a limited version of Xactimate for your training. When you purchase one of our Self-Paced Training courses, you will be asked of you would like the 30 day limited trial and if so we will help you download it to begin your training. For more detailed information on the free trial version, please refer to our Blog. These courses do not include the 320 page workbook & shortcut mouse pad, but they can be purchased separately from Verisk. |

"The Crest Self-Paced Training videos are a fantastic mode of training. The videos are well done and easy to understand. It's nice to be able to watch them whenever, wherever and at whatever time of day or night works best. Alfred clearly knows the program but slows it down so you can absorb the knowledge and build your skills.
Angi, Office Manager @ Restoration Company This Xactimate class is crazy good. Never a dull moment because the dude, Alfred Rey, is engaging, energetic and driven. If you have any predetermined notion that these classes are tedious and boring, be ready to be surprised. For the entire duration of the class, I was so compelled to listen and learn from the instructor, that I actually wished the classes were longer. Alfred interjects tales from his own experiences using Xactimate out in the field in all the different cities he worked in which in my mind gave him “street creds”. This guy not only talk the talk, he actually walked the walk. So much fun listening to his stories. I have scoured the internet and believe me, there is nothing out there comparable with these Xactimate classes. This is the cream of the crop. Top of the heap. A number one. No doubt. I not only highly recommend this class to learn Xactimate but I would consider yourself extremely lucky to have access to the depth of knowledge and experience Alfred Rey provides to his students. If proper marketing is done, I sincerely believe there would be a waiting line to access these teachings. Right now, the true greatness of this course is still unknown to all in the industry. Once word gets out, companies and individuals alike nationwide will gravitate in masses to get access to Alfred’s teachings. The classes are so professional, so engaging and so much fun. Trust me, you will not be bored. Knowing what I know now after completing Alfred’s course, I would pay double what I paid without blinking an eye because this Xactimate course is that good. Worth every penny and more. I will guarantee anyone out there, NO REGRETS. I just thank my lucky stars every day that I accidentally came across Alfred’s YouTube channel and the rest is history. Taking this course has elevated me leaps and bounds over my co-workers. Not only am I making more money because of this Xactimate course, I am treated with more respect due to the knowledge learned from the classes. Thank again, Alfred. Godsend.
Ken C. Florida Adjuster BEST EXPERIENCE - HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I had experience with Xactimate and assumed I would not need the Level 1 class. Boy, was I wrong. Even with Xactimate experience, there are so many things I did not know. I ended up taking Level 1 and Level 2 Xactimate training video classes. The support was the most outstanding! I sent in an email with a question and got a telephone call from my trainer. He offered to hop on a zoom call with me. Who does that??? I was impressed! I highly recommend taking both level 1 and 2 Xactimate training classes. There are many hidden tips and tricks to learn which will make your estimating faster and more accurate. Buying into the Xactimate Training video courses availed me an entire year of access. I sailed through training to earn my certifications. I really enjoyed the self-paced Xactimate training videos which worked perfectly into my busy schedule. Lisa H. Contractor I am a new adjuster and the only thing I knew about Xactimate was its name. I knew that getting the xactimate certification would help me in getting deployed, so I searched for training that would help me. I came across the Crest LLC website. The testimonies were impressive, but I wanted to be sure, before footing over my cash, that was in short supply. I called and Al picked up and blew me away. After our conversation, I was so excited about Xactimate and the training.
Long story short, I took both trainings (1& 2) on a Monday and was finished by Friday morning. Saturday, I sketched my interior and roof for the certification exam. Monday I took the exam and passed. I am level 2 certified. Yes, that is how great the training is. I could go on and on about how great he is and his training. But go ahead and find out for yourself. You will not be disappointed. His training will be one of the best investments you make for yourself and your career. Renee L (Adjuster) Contractor I can easily give Alfred Rey 5 Stars for Xactimate Training! Alfred did what it took to prepare excellent videos that effectively train and prepare you to learn Xactimate and pass for certification!
My hat is off to you Alfred! Thank You, Frank E. Public Adjuster, Jacksonville, FL Now Level 3 Certified Holy sh#t, I’m getting it!
How do I know this? When I watch Dateline or 20/20, when they show the arial view of the neighborhoods, instead of wondering who did it, I’m thinking, “Oh my God, the rooflines on that development would be a nightmare!” LOL Re-watching the videos multiple times is so helpful. I have been successful with the first several practice projects. My husband cracks up when he hears me clapping for myself! Thanks for your patience and for reiterating the basics like ‘Remember to hit control’ & ‘I hope you’re using the short-cuts.’ You’re so good, I can’t even hear your eye-roll when you say it!
