About

The American Society of Workers Comp Professionals, Inc. (AMCOMP) works to raise the professional standards of practice in the field of workers' compensation. Through its Workers Compensation Professional (WCP®) program, AMCOMP certifies professionals who demonstrate proficiency in workers’ compensation by the successful completion of the WCP course curriculum and final exam.

Professionals from all areas of the workers’ compensation industry, such as claims examiners, health care providers, attorneys, rehabilitation counselors, and auditors, benefit from earning the WCP® designation. 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.
