"As someone who has sat through rushed and underprepared classes for a few other adjusting firms, I thought Crawford's course was excellent. From the setup to the schedule to the wealth of knowledge from the happy-to-help staff — it was definitely well worth my time." - Jelani J., Adjuster and Training Attendee
