About the Instructor

Steve Scullion is a 28 year veteran of insurance claims handling and instruction. His claims experience has run the gamut from simple telephone claims to complex liability and property losses, with a few stints as a catastrophe adjuster with national and international duty thrown into the mix.

As an educator, Steve is a cited contributor to the 3 claims courses in the Insurance Institute of Canada's Chartered Insurance Professional designation curriculum and has developed day long seminars regarding liability, insurance fraud and risk management. He has also earned a post graduate diploma in adult education from St. Francis Xavier University.

Steve has earned several other post graduate diplomas and designations in claims handling techniques, including being one of only 8 insurance adjusters in Canada to have passed the challenging examinations and earning his "Fellow Chartered Loss Adjuster" designation through the Canadian Independent Adjusting Association.

Steve is currently branch manager of a local independent adjusting firm and still handles claims which keeps his interest in risk and loss (and their management and mitigation) sharp.
