The Problem With Most Warranty Training

Generic Training Produces Generic Results.

Most warranty training programs teach generic fundamentals — claim types, OWS navigation, how to fill out a form. A competent warranty admin needs to know far more than that.

They need to understand how Ford specifically thinks about documentation. What makes a Complaint field strong versus weak. Why the same op code generates denials at one store and not another. What a DAS score means and which of their submissions is driving it down.

ClaimIQ training is built around your store's actual claim return history, your actual Ford Dashboard metrics, and your actual repair orders — not a classroom curriculum written for a generic audience.

❌ Generic Training
  • •OWS 101 classroom slides
  • •Generic 3C examples
  • •Textbook claim return codes
  • •No store-specific context
  • •Forget it in 2 weeks
  • •No follow-up support

🔜 Coming Soon

Ask any warranty question in the context of your current lesson. The AI Tutor knows the Ford Warranty & Policy Manual, the current course material, and your dealership's claim return history.

Course 3 · Lesson 2 · SSPN Claims
When do I need pre-auth for a SSPN claim?
Pre-auth is required when the estimated repair exceeds $1,000 in warranty labor or parts, or when the concern isn't clearly tied to an active SSPN number. Submit through STARS before the repair starts — retroactive requests are rarely approved.

Training Questions

Yes — all on-site and virtual training engagements are available right now and accepting bookings. The platform Training Center (self-paced courses inside ClaimIQ) is coming soon as part of the software platform launch.

The ClaimIQ Certified Warranty Administrator assessment covers all six course areas: Ford warranty fundamentals, 3C documentation, special claims, claim return codes and appeals, audit preparation, and ClaimIQ platform knowledge. 50 questions, 90% passing score required.

Yes. One-week on-site includes up to 6 participants. Additional participants are accommodated at $250 per person per day, arranged in advance. For groups larger than 10, contact us for a custom multi-session engagement.

A workspace with a screen and internet access, and access to your DMS and Ford dealer portal (read access only for training purposes). We handle everything else. For Day 2, we'll ask for a sample of recent ROs from your store.

Participants have two attempts included. If neither attempt reaches 90%, we'll identify the specific knowledge gaps and recommend targeted follow-up sessions. ClaimIQ Certification is a meaningful credential — we don't pass everyone automatically.

No. The ClaimIQ Certified Warranty Administrator designation is a proprietary certification issued by ClaimIQ. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or issued by Ford Motor Company or Lincoln Motor Company.

All training engagements cover both Ford and Lincoln warranty programs. We don't treat them as separate — most Ford dealers also carry Lincoln, and the documentation standards and OWS processes are the same platform.

Your Store Deserves.
