For the First Time – Get Haag Certified Online!
Over the course of Haag’s 95 years in business, Haag has earned the reputation as the cream of the crop of failure and damage consultants. From our work on high profile jobs, to our innovative research and peer-reviewed papers, to our training and education, Haag has consistently been the standard bearer for quality and integrity in the failure and damage industry. The Haag Certified Inspector (HCI) programs are some of the most recent offerings impacting the industry we serve.
Since the early 1980s, Haag has taught hundreds of courses to thousands of adjusters and contractors. In 2007, Haag Education rolled out its first certification program for residential roof (steep slope) inspectors. Haag’s Certification programs tested and “certified” students on their comprehension and understanding of Haag’s damage assessment methods and principles.
In 2019, we are excited to also celebrate the 10th anniversary of our second Certified Inspector program on Commercial Roofs. The HCI-Commercial Roofs program was introduced in 2009 in response to industry demand following the success of HCI-Residential Roofs program. In 2014, Haag Education introduced our third certification on Wind Damage, which certifies those inspecting wind claims on anything related to building envelope from the foundation to roof covering.
