Every way to qualify
More than one route leads to this license, and which one you take changes what you study and whether you sit the exam. They are listed in full because the course is only the first of them.
-
Route 1 Take the 20-hour course
State exam required
-
20 hours of pre-licensing education for the Workers Comp Adjuster line, approved by the Department
Twenty hours, or demonstrated experience instead. Mississippi allows the substitution for adjusters and for nobody else, and the experience route itself has not been read here yet.

Route 2 Demonstrate experience instead of the course
State exam required
-
Experience or special education or training of sufficient duration and extent to make the applicant competent, which the statute does not put a period on
The Department's own instruction sheet says adjuster candidates "shall complete twenty (20) hours of pre-licensing or demonstrate experience", and the statute behind it is Miss. Code Ann. 83-17-511(1)(d), which asks for experience or special education or training "of sufficient duration and extent to make him competent" and names no number. The twenty hours are the Commissioner's implementation of a competence test rather than a figure the law sets, which is why this route exists and why no minimum is shown on it.

A course is required and nobody sells one
Mississippi's Adjuster category holds nine approved courses. Eight of the nine are for the combined Property and Casualty with Workers Compensation paper or for adjusting generally, and the ninth, the Mississippi Association of Self Insurers' MASI CSIWCP Work Comp Adjuster course at twenty classroom credits, is for workers compensation. None is named for the workers compensation paper on its own from a national seller: of the two national providers holding an approved Mississippi adjuster course, WebCE's and Kaplan's are both the combined paper.
