Your Instructor: Sean Burgess, XCT

Sean Burgess holds the Xactimate Certified Trainer (XCT) credential – the highest level of Xactimate training certification offered by Xactware. But certification is just the baseline.

What sets this training apart is practical experience from both sides of the property damage industry: working as a restoration estimator for a general contractor (creating rebuild estimates for tornado, fire, and water losses) AND as a catastrophe insurance adjuster on behalf of insurance carriers.

Real-World Experience Applied to Your Learning

This dual perspective means you learn Xactimate in context – understanding how the tool applies to actual property damage work, whether you’re creating estimates for your restoration business or writing claims for an insurance carrier.

Student-Focused Training

The focus isn’t on war stories or credentials – it’s on what YOU need to learn. Clear explanations. Relevant examples. Practical application. Concepts are demonstrated, then you practice it with feedback that helps you understand how to apply it in your role.
