Live Training Courses and Events

The ACA is excited to announce we will provide 1 or 2 live training events each year that is driven by claim's challenges or feedback from the field regarding the current claim season. These live events are in partnership with our wonderful sponsors, member companies, and subject matter experts in their respective field. The ACA will provide 1 to 2 day events using a wide variety of education and training techniques designed to send you back into the field or workspace with the ability to apply what you learned immediately along with resources and POCs that you can reach out when you need assistance. The objectives are aimed at comprehension and application, not just building knowledge. We hope to see you there for these important events.

You can call 866.215.9274 or email us at info@agclaimsassociation.com if you have questions or we can be any assistance.

This set of property training sessions is driven by the significant wind damage to grain bins and center pivots across multiple states in the midwest. Come to training to learn all the components and potential gaps often missed when inspecting and submitting vital information required for claims assignments or cost estimates.

If you are not familiar with the basics of grain bins (e.g., terms, components, etc.), you are strongly encouraged to take the Grain Storage and Material Handling Course or the Grain Bin Scoping Overview. Without the basic knowledge of grain bins, you may find it difficult to comprehend the details and fully benefit from the practical exercises/scenario based activities. Further information will be available below for attendees once registerd; login to the website is required.

Descriptions, and biographies of the trainers is being developed and will be posted shortly.
