The American Society of Workers Compensation Professionals

The American Society of Workers' Comp Professionals, Inc., (AMCOMP) works to raise the professional standards of practice in the field of workers' compensation. AMCOMP will certify professionals who demonstrate proficiency in workers' compensation by the successful completion of the WCP® course curriculum final exam. The certification will be designated as (Workers' Compensation Professional) and is a registered trademark of AMCOMP.

AMCOMP’s certified Workers’ Compensation Professional (WCP®) program provides industry professionals with a strong educational foundation in the various aspects of the workers compensation industry. Those who complete the coursework will have a better understanding of how the various pieces of the workers’ compensation industry (e.g., claims, risk management, pricing, ratemaking) all work together to make the greater whole. The program highlights the following topics: History of Workers Compensation, Statutory provisions, Benefits, Claims Administration, Cost Containment Strategies, Methods for Determining Rates, Exclusive Remedy Challenges, Federal Legislation, and the Availability of Insurance. Students are also required to learn the AMCOMP Code of Ethics which describes the minimum standards of individual conduct expected of those certified as a WCP®.

Professionals from all areas of the workers’ compensation industry such as claims examiners, health care providers, attorneys, rehabilitation counselors, and auditors will benefit from this program. It is strongly recommended for all employees of insurance companies, self-insured, agents, brokers and third-party administrators as well as those from state agencies. The WCP® coursework is offered in various formats, including self-study, group study, classroom lectures and our soon to be launched online program. Students must successfully complete all course material and pass a final examination to earn their WCP® designation. Upon graduation, WCP® professionals will receive a diploma and are entitled to use the WCP® designation.
