As a claims assistant for a commercial liabilty insurance company, what training will help me to advance?
I work for a Insurance Company here in Los Angeles. It’s a Commercial Liability Insurance Company. I dont do any handling of claim, but I am a Claims Adjuster Assistant. I review court documents to identify facts and the nature of the accident that took place. Send out acknowledgement letter, as well as closing notices. What certification would I want to start off with being new to the insurance industry? What courses would I start off with?

Go to this web site.
They offer lots of different programs in insurance.
You may want to start out with an easy one like INS. It’s 3 courses and its not hard at all. It is good introductory information.
In claims, you usually start with INS and then move onto AIC (Associate in Claims).
If you are wanting to eventually be an adjuster – these are the two to start out with.

Depending on what you want to end up doing, I’d heavily recommend either the CIC or CPCU, ARM, or similar coursework. Go to http://www.aicpcu.org to get a taste . . .

I would recommend training that is more specialized for your work like the Certified Insurance Data Manager (CIDM) or the Associate, Customer Service (ACS). Then you could build up to the big boys like the CPCU. Depending on your insurance company they may offer to pay for such classes or even give you bonuses for finishing. Hope this helps.
