✅ Student Feedback
"I wasn’t sure if the $399 would be worth it, but it turned out to be the best investment I’ve ever made. AVDI gave me the knowledge and confidence to apply at a regional insurance company. I landed a desk appraiser role two weeks after completing the course. Now I have benefits, steady pay, and a career path."
— Maria T., Staff Appraiser, Florida
"I took the AVDI course while working full-time as a mechanic. Within a month of completing it, I picked up weekend assignments from an independent appraisal firm. The first three inspections I completed covered my tuition, and now I have a steady side income that supplements my main job."
— Anthony K., Part-Time Appraiser, Ohio

"I had been working in a body shop for 12 years, but I wanted more flexibility. After finishing the Auto Damage Appraisal course with AVDI, I was writing estimates within weeks. My first month as a 1099 appraiser, I earned back the cost of the course. By the third month, I was already doubling what I used to make in the shop."
— James R., Independent Appraiser, Texas
I really enjoyed the courses on goavdi.com. The videos were easy to follow, and everything was explained clearly. I learned a lot about writing estimates and understanding different types of vehicle damage, especially on RVs and motorcycles. It’s great for anyone starting out or wanting to brush up on their skills. Definitely worth it!
Brian C., Body Shop Estimator, AVDI Grad
Thank you for such an informative course for Marine Estimating. This course covers everything you need to be successful in appraising the different types Vessels. With exclusive matrices appraisers will be able to use resources in the field to find parts, replacement times and repair time suggestions.
Thanks again for such a great course

The Classic Car Course has a very methodical approach to being able to review and access different types of damages for a carrier's estimate for the cost of the claim repairs. Very well done!
Chris G.
I think the Tractor Trailer course is great and fits right in with the rest of the curriculum. Nice job!
