Level 2 applicants must: (1) have 24 consecutive months of claims adjusting experience, and (2) successfully complete six courses, including certain specified ones, offered by the Insurance Institute of Canada (IIC). For Level 3 certification, which is required to work without direct supervision, applicants must: (1) meet Level 2 requirements, (2) hold an appropriate professional designation from IIC, (3) successfully complete specified IIC courses, and (4) have acted as an adjuster for at least 60 months within ten years prior to application.

Insurance adjusters who are licensed by and in good standing with a regulatory organization elsewhere in Canada may be eligible for licensing in Alberta if licensed adjusters in the two jurisdictions have similar responsibilities and competencies.
