How We Can Help You?
​
​​AVDI is committed to excellence in the fundamental education of the future independent and staff appraisers, body shop estimators, and insurance adjusters. Inspired by our passion for the damage appraisal industry, we strive to produce outstanding students. AVDI does everything in its power to help our students develop the skills needed to begin their new careers with competence and confidence. We have created courses that anyone can take regardless of their previous experience level. Whether you have absolutely no experience in this industry or years of experience and simply want to expand your skill set, we have the right course for you. ​* 

In additional to the Auto Damage Appraisal Courses, AVDI has created courses to advance appraisers career opportunities. RV, Motorcycle, Marine, Classic Car and Tractor & Trailer courses are also available.


A Word of Caution

First and foremost, AVDI prides ourselves on accurate courses backed by 75 years plus of experience. We realize there are other companies online that offer similar services. Many of these other services are highly reputable. Unfortunately, others are not and run off gimmicks, false endorsements and, admittingly, flashy advertisements on their sites.

​Whether you choose us or another service, we urge you thoroughly review their promises and not get taken advantage of. This is a great industry and we want all those entering it, and enhancing their skills, to value from their online appraiser education experience. 

Start Something New!
​
While the number of appraisers has declined, the demand for their services has not. There are vast opportunities in this industry for employment. With the training we provide, you will have the potential to gain a new career opportunity at:
​

• An independent appraisal company 
• ​An insurance company as a staff or field appraiser
• A body repair shop as a shop estimator
• RV, Marine, Motorcycle, Tractor & Trailer shop estimator

 ​
There are different benefits to any career path you choose to pursue. Based on our experience, many people enjoy working as independent appraisers. As an independent appraiser, you can create your own schedule, rates, and be your own employer. In contrast, some enjoy working for an appraisal service company where they do not have to obtain their own clients or handle the business operations of the company. At an insurance company, appraisers work as in-house, direct appraisers and estimate damages exclusively for that carrier. As a body shop estimator, individuals have the opportunity to progress within the repair shop industry.

​Whichever option you choose, AVDI will help you achieve your goals.*

The Marine 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!

I think the motorcycle course is great and fits right in with the rest of the curriculum.
