Benefits of Membership
AMCOMP's education program,
certified Workers Compensation
Professional ( WCP) was developed to
help raise the professional standards in
the field of workers compensation.
Each
of us is able to detail the need to improve
the industry in our own business histories,
almost always concluding that a
common body of knowledge and measurement
would benefit all participants in
the field: insurers, reinsurers, insureds,
self-insureds, regulators, agents, brokers
and most importantly, claimants.
The AMCOMP certification program is
intended to develop a basic foundation of
knowledge of the various aspects of the
industry so that individuals who have
completed the program will have a better
understanding and appreciation of how
the various pieces (e.g. claims, risk management,
pricing, etc.) work together in
order to make the greater whole.
