“My name is Lisa. I’m 27 years old and have been studying with
ICS Canada since August of 2009. I’m a stay-at-home mom with five children, all under the age of nine. Being a mother at a young age,
I had to drop out of high school to take care of my new responsibilities. I always knew that one day I would return
to school and receive my diploma, it became a goal.

If you’re a student in either the Police Sciences/Law Enforcement and Protection or Private Investigator Programs, you are developing skills in report writing, interviewing, investigation, and observation. While these skills are vital to the law-enforcement and investigative fields, there is another related field in which they will also serve you in good stead –specifically insurance adjusting and claim examination.

Within the insurance industry, insurance adjusters and claim examiners play a crucial role. As defined by the Canadian National Occupational Classification; “Insurance adjusters investigate insurance claims and determine the amount of loss or damages covered by insurance policies. They are employed in claims departments of insurance companies or as independent adjusters. Insurance claims examiners examine claims investigated by insurance adjusters and authorize payments. They are employed at head offices or branches of insurance companies.”
