1stsource Adjuster School is a Texas Department of Insurance–approved training provider in Houston that helps aspiring and working insurance adjusters get licensed in days, not months, and get truly deployment-ready with real-world skills and career support.

Who We Are

1stsource Houston focuses on training deployable adjusters, not just test-takers.

Our instructors are experienced adjusters who have worked real storm seasons and handled live claims, so students learn practical skills, industry expectations, and how to navigate actual deployments with confidence. As a TDI-certified provider, our courses meet Texas licensing standards and support reciprocity in 30+ states, opening doors to opportunities nationwide.

We back our structured curriculum with a pass guarantee, include hands-on Xactimate training, and offer ongoing career guidance so students move from interest to income as quickly and confidently as possible.

What We Offer

1stsource Adjuster School offers several in-depth programs designed for beginners, career changers, and working adjusters who want to grow their earning potential.

Industry Prep Course (IPC): Focused, hands-on skill development in Bodily Injury, Workers’ Compensation, and Drone Inspection Certification to prepare professionals for high-demand claim assignments.
Intensive Training Program (ITP): A comprehensive, immersive track combining classroom instruction, live demos, and one-on-one certification training to build strong estimating and field-readiness skills.

Workforce Readiness Program: A 6-day in-person bundle that combines Roofing Claims, Auto Bodily Injury, Workers’ Compensation, and professional resume development to make students job-ready and marketable fast.

Every program is designed to move students from licensing to real-world deployment with structured support, clear expectations, and practical training.

What Makes Us Different

Most schools focus on theory; 1stsource is built to create adjusters who can step

into the field and perform on day one. Our pass guarantee, Xactimate training, and real adjuster instructors ensure that students are ready not just to pass an exam, but to understand how claims are actually handled in the field.

We also emphasize deployment readiness, from helping students understand income potential and storm-driven demand to preparing them to be available and equipped when opportunities arise. Testimonials from past graduates highlight our professional environment, clear communication, supportive instructors, and training that makes a new career feel achievable.

Income Potential and Career Path

Insurance adjusting can offer significantly higher income potential than many hourly roles, especially for those who are licensed, trained, and ready to deploy.

Catastrophe Adjusters: Often earn between $60,000 and $120,000+ annually, depending on deployment and storm activity.
Independent and Experienced Adjusters: Have flexible, claim-based income, with higher potential during active storm seasons and as carrier relationships grow.

We help students understand that readiness, availability, and skill directly impact earning potential, and our training is built to support that reality.
