Service Master - Continuing Education

Continuing education is an essential element in the insurance industry. Insurance agents, adjusters and customer service representatives must accumulate credit hours in order to keep their respective licenses. Typically, 24 credit hours are needed every 2 years. I know the state of Florida will fine the licensee $250.00 if the license is not in good standing and delinquent of the needed credit hours after every 2 year cycle.

The good news is that here in Orlando and Melbourne, Florida ServiceMaster Recovery Systems can provide those in need of credit hours just that. We offer 3 and 6 credit hour courses on as monthly basis. This includes courses such as Water Damage Mitigation, Smoke and Odor Damage Mitigation, Mold Remediation, Reducing Severities Through Restorative Structual Drying and Reducing Severities Through an Understanding of Furniture Damage and Restoration. In addition, Ethics in Insurance will be added by the end of this year.

Our goal is not only to educate the industry through these courses, but to generate enthusiasm and have fun. Each class provides the attendee with an opportunity to interact with others and take part in class demonstrations. For example, during the water damage mitigation class each person will have the opportunity to operate a thermal imaging camera and utilize water probes in carpet and drywall samples. In addition, attendees will light various samples of carpet fibers on fire as a way to demonstrate carpet density.

Each course offered is free and food and beverages are always provided. Also, the classes are held in our air conditioned warehouse where the majority of our equipment is housed. This gives everyone in attendance the opportunity to see various types of equipment used in disaster restoration.
