Certified Asset Recovery Specialist®,
(C.A.R.S.®)
National Training and Certification Program
In 1999, the Certified Asset Recovery Specialist® National
Certification Program (C.A.R.S.®) program
was published and introduced to the collateral recovery industry.
Since then it has been placed into the hands of recovery agents
in 42 states. It has received endorsements
from industry leaders, insurance carriers, and attorneys.
On June 5, 2002, the Certified Asset Recovery Specialist® National
Certification Program received approval by the Florida Department
of State and the Florida
Division of Licensing, allowing it's use as an alternative to
their state required 40 hour classroom training.
The C.A.R.S.® Certification Program is designed to educate the professional
collateral recovery specialist in the many laws effecting the industry,
potential liability situations, ethics and professional conduct,
insurance needs, forms necessary for the business, skiptracing,
the collateral recovery process and a Glossary of terms. The program
consists of 11 sections, contained in
an attractive, durable, 3 ring binder.
The C.A.R.S.® Program is designed as a distance learning course.
Upon satisfactory completion of the program, and a score of at least
80% on the final exam, the graduate will receive a wall size Certificate
of Completion and a wallet size certificate attesting to their recognition
as a consummate professional. Graduates of the program will be listed
on our website Agent Locator for the convenience
of lending institutions who prefer to use certified professionals.
The graduate will also be allowed to use the C.A.R.S.® Logo on all
business advertising and correspondence.
Written as a national program, two other versions are currently
available; California and Florida. Included in these two editions
are the state statutes regulating those states. We are in the process
of gathering the information pertaining to licensing in Nevada and
will soon have a version for that state as well. As other states
enact laws regulating repossessors, we will custom design programs
for them.
