The Property Loss Appraisal Network (P.LA.N.), Founded in 2014, provides one of the most comprehensive training, education, and certification programs available for Appraisers and Umpires involved in Property Loss Alternative Dispute Resolution services.

The Courses are broken into 2 segments where the participants can attend a three day or full five-day program. The Courses are designed and focused on teaching and strengthening the morals, ethics, integrity, and professionalism to those who serve as Property Loss Appraisers and Property Loss Umpires and to those that implement the Property Loss Appraisal Process as a whole.

The Courses focus on providing an understanding of the Property Loss Appraisal Process by first gaining an understanding of the participants’ experience in appraisals, their understanding of the process and its intended usage in insurance disputes.

"The Do’s and Don’ts of the Appraisal Process" P.L.A.N. Appraiser Certification:
Educates P.L.A.N. Certified Appraisers to become successful in their role as a Property Loss Appraiser by eliminating the common mistakes and pitfalls found and exercised in the process.

“Sharpen The Pencil & Not The Sword” P.L.A.N. Umpire Certification:
Takes P.L.A.N. Certified Umpires through a detailed explanation of the role, duties, and authorities of the Property Loss Appraisal Umpire and the process then concludes with the art and practice of taking part in an actual appraisal as the Umpire.

During the three-day and five-day segments, Special Guest Speakers will be sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience in the Appraisal Process discussing current trends, events, ever changing rules and regulations, case laws, and will provide a Q & A session on procedural protocols that effect the process.
CE Credits are available through this course and are provided in daily 8 hour increments per day depending upon the participants chosen attendance of the course segments.

Upon completion of the course(s), participants with passing exam scores, will receive their certification(s) along with a designation of P.L.A.N. Certified Property Loss Appraiser (CPLA), or P.L.A.N.

Membership, access to our Members only forum and library, along with a one-year free listing in the P.L.A.N. Appraiser or Umpire Registry depending on their designation achieved. P.L.A.N. Appraiser and Umpire Certifications are valid for three years from the date of Certification.
