Appraiser Platinum Changes
Starting August 2026, Auto Physical Damage Appraisers (APDAs) will need to complete ProLevel 1, 2, and 3 training to become Platinum. This auto collision training ensures APDAs are prepared for the future of claims processing and advanced vehicle technology, staying aligned with industry standards.
What Platinum Professionals Are Saying
“I personally have been an I‑CAR individual for 23 years and it has led me to the career I am in now with all the different kinds of training available. I use I‑CAR when I have an entry-level estimator or technician. I also have our CSR take classes to get familiar with the business.”
“Being Platinum allows me to feel more confident in the answers I am giving as I help develop and train new adjusters, many of whom were not "car people" just like I was when I started with the company. This experience has truly come full circle for me and it feels awesome to be able to contribute.”
“I have been in the collision industry for 22 years… I have gone from sweeping floors to owning my own shop with my brother who is also Platinum status. It is always nice to have continuing education in this ever-changing field.”
“As an Auto Claims Adjuster, I‑CAR has been my go-to training & has helped me continue adding value in how I perform my duties with Allstate for over 21 years!”
