BDMA

BDMA The British Damage Management Association (BDMA) is the certifying body for the damage management industry. https://linktr.ee/TheBDMA

As the certifying authority for recovery and restoration practitioners members gain professional accreditation, as a BDMA Technician or Senior Technician, through a tiered examination system. This enables them to display the Collective Mark, allowing potential customers and the public in general to identify professional technicians and competent corporate damage management organisations. A trainin

g and examination programme for insurers and loss adjusters, leading to accreditation as a BDMA Insurance Technician, enables transparency and greater understanding of the benefits of professional damage management. This allows the insurance industry to recognise best practice and solutions that reduce claims costs and improve the customer experience. Accreditation as BDMA Claims Practitioners is also available, via examination, for those engaged in property claims who do not meet the criteria for the above categories. Details of available accreditation categories and related criteria are available on our website.
