I’m a skeptic by nature and most of the time when I see courses available online a red flag goes up in my mind. But unlike so many other courses out there this course (and IA Path in general) is the real deal. After speaking to Chris on the phone (something he makes it very easy to do unlike a lot of others) I was confident enough in his expertise and experience to invest and I’m glad I did. I graduated two weeks ago and have been busy joining IA rosters and completing test claims. The techniques, resources, and relationships Chris talks about are 100% real and will set you on the path to running your own successful IA business. Thanks Chris!

Thanks so much for this class, it was exactly what I had hoped for. My biggest question was how to get connected with the agencies that can assign the work. This class has helped me reinforce my prior training as well as listen to other students questions about how to make this a successful endeavor.

The pace of the class is perfect! Between work, class and life the pace of the course does not make me feel overwhelmed. I am able to digest the information and learn the material using the wonderful examples the course offers. This course really breaks things down in a way that makes it easy to understand the process writing an estimate while learning the parts of a vehicle. Being able to interact with Chris and others during the weekly live class allows everyone the ability to review the information and ask questions “live time”. Another benefit of the live class is being able to hear questions other people have that I may not have thought of asking. Chris has done an amazing job putting this course together and has shared an enormous amount of information and "how to" procedures he has learned by being an IA. I would highly recommend this course to anyone thinking about becoming an IA!!!
