Training Timeline

I-CAR has transitioned from awarding "points" to awarding credit hours. Generally, three (3) credit hours will replace one (1) point for a regular I-CAR class. The typical online course that was one-quarter (.25) point will be one (1) credit hour on average.

2012: Businesses will qualify for the Insurance I-CAR Gold Class Professionals designation in two ways:

• Earn 15 credit hours (previously 5 points) per Auto Physical Damage Appraiser (APDA) staff member to achieve Gold Class status or 6 credit hours (previously 2 points) to maintain a designation.
  
  -OR-
  
• 100% of all locations has 60% of their staff Platinum or 60% of overall staff is Platinum in 2012 for each subsequent year.

The requirements for 2013 and beyond reflect what percentage of APDA staff must achieve Platinum status for a business to retain the Gold Class status.

2013: 70% of APDA staff have achieved Platinum status in I-CAR^® ProLevel™ 2
2014: 75% of APDA staff have achieved Platinum status in I-CAR^® ProLevel™ 3
