WCCA™ Has Been Retired
Wondering what happened to WCCA™? The series has officially been retired. As the landscape of California workers’ compensation has evolved, so have we—offering updated, on-demand training designed to meet today’s professional needs.
We’re now exclusively focused on the Claims Practitioner in Workers’ Compensation (CPWC) certification—the most up-to-date, practical, and 120-hour adjuster training in California.
Why the transition? Because California’s workers’ compensation community deserves training that’s:
- Packed with the most up-to-the-minute case law, practice tips, and real-world application
- Built in collaboration with industry leaders like Karen Heffernan, former V.P. of Training at Sedgwick.
- Designed for today’s adjusters—so you don’t just learn the law, you learn how to apply it
- On-demand & flexible – No more rigid schedules—train when it works for you.
This is more than a course—it’s the gold standard for adjuster training in California. If you’re serious about excelling in claims, this is where it starts.
