What is the difference between the ACA Designation and other adjuster designations in Florida?

The State of Florida authorized adjuster licensing by designation in 2003. The first approved designation was the ACA or Accredited Claims Adjuster designation. The ACA Designation offered by the University of Central Florida, in partnership with Florida Insurance University, is used by over 250 insurance and adjusting companies. The program has qualified more than 1 out of 3 licensed adjusters for the Florida license.

There are other designations that have been approved since 2003, however it is significant that the Florida Department of Financial Services, Florida Department of Transportation and companies such as Allstate,, State Farm, Progressive Insurance and Liberty Mutural Insurance all rely on the UCF program for licensing.

When considering a licensing designation program be sure to ask the provider who the program trains.
