How to become an auto damage trainee?

The qualifications you need to become an auto damage trainee include a high school diploma or GED, although some employers prefer candidates with some post-secondary training or a college degree in auto body repair. Most insurance companies provide on-the-job training in the claims process in the case of an accident or natural disaster. Once you complete the training, you may work alongside an experienced adjuster until you’re ready to handle claims independently. Common job duties in this position include traveling to vehicle repair shops, inspecting vehicles to assess damage, providing a cost estimate of needed repairs, and negotiating settlements.
