The Designated Home State (DHS) adjuster license is available to individuals who are residents of a state that does not license adjusters, or to individuals that are company adjusters and reside in a state that only licenses independent adjusters and/or public adjusters and want to designate another state as their home state. The states that qualify are CO, DC, IA, IL, KS, MA, MD, MO, ND, NE, NJ, OH, PA, SD, TN, VA, and WI. “The availability of Kaplan materials online and the depth of the test prep materials made studying a cinch. I especially liked the ability to compose practice exams that addressed weak areas that needed extra attention. I was shocked at the ease of the state exam in comparison to the preparation… Kaplan made the test a breeze on the first try.”

Hands-on Practice with GitHub Codespaces New LinkedIn Learning software development courses are now seamlessly integrated with a professional, enterprise-grade development environment – GitHub Codespaces
How it works Learners taking any of the nearly 200 courses that integrate with GitHub Codespaces are able to go directly from the LinkedIn Learning course page to a newly created codespace in GitHub in which to practice.
More on LinkedIn Learning GitHub Codespaces-Enabled Courses • LinkedIn Learning has released nearly 200 courses with Codespaces since the launch of this offering in 2022 . • Courses will cover the six most in-demand programming languages – Python, SQL, Java, Go, PHP, and JavaScript – plus topics in AI, Machine Learning, and Data Science. We will expand into other languages, like Rust, in the future. • Three different practice methods (Hands-On Introduction, Practice It, and Level Up) are available in each of the above programming languages, so that no matter what stage of skill building a developer is at – just starting out or advanced – they have the right level of learning and practice.
• Courses now available in English, French, Spanish, and German.
• Developers will open their own codespace based on a LinkedIn Learning course’s preconfigured exercise files repository and will have instant access to the files running in the browser. There isn’t a download/upload step involved, and they never need to use local resources, such as their development computer’s file system.

• Course Highlights • Hands-On Introduction: Java • Practice It: SQL Joins • Level Up: Advanced Python • Data Cleaning in Python Essential Training • Machine Learning with Python: Logistic Regression
List of courses available on the LinkedIn Learning Customer Success Center
• Developers will get up to 60 hours per month free with GitHub Codespaces, which will support most learners’ needs. While LinkedIn Learning provides seamless access to GitHub Codespaces, learners will be directly linked with GitHub accounts. So in the rare case that more time is needed, learners can use GitHub’s pay-as-you-go pricing.
