Computers and Basic Computer Skills

In order to take this class you will need to be able to load Xactimate on your computer. If your computer is over 3 years old you might want to consider getting another computer before the class as Xactimate will likely not run on a system older than 3 years. Please refer to the attached file that has the initial email about the class for the minimum requirements for Xactimate 25.

In order to use Xactimate you must have a basic understanding of PC based computers and how to operate it. If you cannot cut, copy and paste or do basic file operations you will need to know this before the class. There are some free training sites on the Internet and CDs that you can purchase.
