AMF Claims Adjuster (Quebec) case studies
AMF Claims Adjuster (Quebec) · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The AMF claims adjuster certification is administered by the Autorité des marchés financiers, Quebec's financial regulator, and is the gateway to practising as a claims adjuster in the province. It is aimed at candidates who assess and settle insurance claims - damage insurance claims and liability claims - whether in-house for an insurer or as independent adjusters. Because the exam validates the knowledge and judgement needed to act lawfully and fairly on behalf of policyholders and insurers alike, it is relevant to career-changers entering the claims field as well as to people already working in claims who need formal certification. A complete preparation plan should cover four broad areas: the fundamentals of claims adjustment and the adjuster's professional role, the legal framework set out in the Civil Code of Québec together with insurance law principles, property (damage) insurance coverage and claim handling, and liability insurance coverage and claim handling. The AMF Claims Adjuster (Quebec) case studies are 5 cases and about 3,496 words.
