Student Comments
- There are three good reasons for taking this course. First, there's the personal benefit of learning about the jewelry industry. Second, of course, the C.E. credit is nice. But most importantly, the workshop enables agents to better serve their customers. I also was impressed by the emphasis placed on the importance of good appraisals, and the workshop explains how to tell the difference between good appraisals and inferior ones. I went back to the office and looked at some of the appraisals in our files. Boy, was I surprised!
- Thank you for a very informative class. I took this class, along with my husband, and we both learned so much about diamonds and identifying a good appraisal that when we purchased a diamond ring, we were able to make a more educated choice. We also found the information helped us pick the jeweler we wanted to work with. The CE credits were a bonus!
- Mr. Hendry is extremely knowledgeable about this topic and has done his homework.
- Agents need this training badly. The appraisals they accept for scheduling usually have 1/2 the information that we need.
- This workshop would be beneficial to agents and marketing. I now have more knowledge and terminology to use in my dealings with appraisers and jewelers and in educating our insureds.
- It was eye opening to see the misrepresentation and fraud that exist in the jewelry business.
- A lot of good information. The agents need to use the appraisal work sheets and the jewelry insurance appraisal sheets we were given. It's too late by the time I get the claim. We need to use these forms and become pro-active in this area.
- I learned a lot of what I need to look for on appraisals. Also, I learned more of what information we need to obtain from insured on their claims.
- Great workshop. Good use of video and lecture!
