Description
The Designated Home State (DHS) license was created to provide residents of non-licensing states a means to designate a home state for the purposes of reciprocity and compliance. You should only obtain a DHS License if you reside in one of the following non-licensing states: Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington D. C., or Wisconsin.
A DHS license basically works just like having your home state license and is vital if you want to work any claims outside of your non-licensing state. While a host of different states offer a DHS license, the Florida 70-20 Nonresident DHS license is our top recommendation. It offers great reciprocity, you can take the exam online with us, and Florida has the quickest application turnaround time in the country.
Florida DHS adjuster candidates must take an approved pre-licensing course and pass an exam before applying for their license. Our Florida Certified Adjuster Pre-licensing Course satisfies both requirements. Once you complete the course and pass the included exam, you can apply for your 70-20 license. Our Florida Certified Adjuster Designation is the fastest and simplest way to get your Designated Home State License.
While obtaining your license is the most important step to becoming a claims adjuster, you shouldn’t stop there! Our Total Adjuster Package was developed to give new adjusters everything they need to get started, get hired, and get to work. Plus, you’ll save almost $250 off individual pricing when you bundle your Florida Pre-Licensing Course + Exam, Xactimate Training, Residential Construction Basics, Soft Skills: The Art of Insurance Adjusting, and our Adjuster Success Method.
Note: After purchase, all of these courses will be available in your personal online classroom. We highly recommend you take them in the order they are listed below. While our Xactimate course is approved for CE in certain states, you must hold a valid license before taking any course you intend to submit for continuing education credit.

overall a really good course. A lot of information. It took me longer than i expected. But that’s what it took me to absorb the information. It was nice that i was able to make copies. it’s going to be nice to have later on. I think the outline could use some work. Ex. I. Topic A. 6 Characteristics of Insurance Contracts . 1.Personal
2. Adhesion -But that’s my opinion. Overall great course. I enjoyed it

Good afternoon,
I am rating the course 4-stars BECAUSE of the course’s content. I think the course was as straight-forward as it gets and I can appreciate that. I also REALLY like the website, and educational program/application. The course was super easy to navigate through and I also really enjoyed the study features (Study Guide and Flash Cards), this application offers.
A word about the content itself. I found it to be a bit of a ‘snooze fest’. I don’t think it would hurt to throw in a few video clips here and there, maybe some animation of some kind to keep folks awake. The content slides was really no different than reviewing MS PowerPoint for hours on end. I say spice it up so you really maximize customer/client engagement – maybe throw in a little color on some of the slides (most slides appear to be monochrome style).
Outside of that, I really did enjoy this course and I look forward to using your service in the future! Thanks for all your help!

The course is excellent for someone like me that likes to learn from listening and learns from examples. I also love the Study bank as I like repetition as a study method and as a bonus when you answer a question you get an explanation as to why that is the answer. Absolutely enjoyed taking this course!
