About this exam

The Iran Loss Adjuster Exam (آزمون کارشناس رسمی ارزیاب خسارت بیمه) is a Persian-language, multiple-choice certification assessment for professionals who determine the extent and value of insured losses: damage assessors, claims handlers, insurance company technical staff, and independent adjusters working with Iranian insurers. It tests whether a candidate can read a policy, establish coverage, investigate a loss, quantify damage, and produce a defensible settlement report under Iranian insurance law and regulation. The ten domains run from insurance principles and risk management through Iranian insurance law, contract interpretation, adjustment ethics, property and fire claims, motor third-party liability and own damage, life and health claims, engineering and liability lines, fraud detection, and claim documentation and reporting. Preparation should follow the domain weights: build the legal and ethical foundation first, then work through property, motor, and engineering claims with numerical exercises, and finish with investigation and reporting practice. Because the exam is applied rather than purely memorised, practise writing short adjustment rationales for sample scenarios and check them against policy wording.

What you'll study

Common questions

About Iran Loss Adjuster Exam preparation

Is this the same as an official adjuster licence?

No. This page describes preparation for a certification exam; it does not grant a licence and is not affiliated with any examining or regulatory body. Licensing to practise as a loss assessor in Iran is governed by the competent authorities and the insurance regulator, so confirm the current requirements directly with them.

What is the exam format?

It is delivered as multiple-choice questions in Persian, and the technical vocabulary is standard insurance terminology, so expect both Persian phrasing and terms such as deductible, indemnity, and subrogation. The number of items and the time allowance are set by the examining body and published on its site.

How much does it cost and what is the passing score?

Fees, the passing threshold, and any retake charges are set by the official examining body and change over time. Check its website or registration notice for the current figures rather than relying on older candidate reports. Do not budget from second-hand numbers.

How difficult is it?

Candidates with claims-handling experience generally find the property, motor, and documentation domains manageable. The usual difficulty is the legal and ethical material, which requires precise reading rather than intuition, plus calculation questions where a single arithmetic slip changes the answer. Treat it as an applied exam, not a memory test.

Can I retake it if I fail?

Retake eligibility, waiting periods, and any limit on attempts are set by the examining body. Confirm the current policy before you register, since rules can differ between exam cycles. If a retake is possible, spend the interval on your weakest weighted domain rather than repeating the same preparation.

How long should I study?

There is no official study duration. A practical plan is eight to twelve weeks at a few hours per week, weighted toward law, ethics, and property claims, which together carry the largest share. Reserve the final two weeks for timed practice and for reviewing your errors by domain.

In what order should I study the domains?

Start with principles and risk management, then Iranian insurance law and contract interpretation, because later questions assume that vocabulary. Move to adjustment ethics, then property and fire, motor, and engineering claims. Finish with life and health, fraud detection, and reporting, which are smaller but easy to score if you have time.

What causes most failures?

Three patterns: ignoring policy conditions and exclusions when deciding coverage, confusing indemnity with the sum insured or with the claim amount, and weak arithmetic in depreciation and underinsurance calculations. A fourth is skipping the ethics and legal domains because they seem theoretical, even though they carry substantial weight.

How should I answer calculation questions?

Write the formula before substituting numbers: establish the loss, apply the deductible, check for underinsurance or average, then apply any limit. Keep units consistent and sanity-check that the payable amount cannot exceed the sum insured or the actual loss. Show your working on scratch paper so you can recheck a doubtful step.

Where do I confirm exam dates and rules?

Only the official examining body's website and its registration notices are authoritative for dates, eligibility, format, and results. This page does not publish those details. Before registering, read the current notice in full, including identification requirements and any rules on permitted materials.
