Upcoming Webinars & Training

Homeowners Endorsements Insureds Don’t Want

WEBINAR | AUG 25 | 3 CE
To save a buck, consumers are quick to strip off coverage and/or buy coverage that doesn’t match their exposure. This course provides many examples and risks insurance pros can use to talk insureds through coverage that is best for their policy and how to get it in the most affordable way possible. Discussion includes reference to many endorsements–some common, some not–insureds should consider.

Personal Lines: Read the Form!

WEBINAR | AUG 25 | 1 CE
The Insurance Services Office (ISO) forms may be the standard but there are variations in commonly used non-standard forms that, if not identified, could lead to coverage problems. Personal lines insurance pros who take this course will be better positioned to search for and remedy such discrepancies.

Ethics in Insurance: Protecting the Client & the Agency

WEBINAR | SEPT 3 | 3 CE
This course begins with a discussion of what ethics is and different approaches to decision making. It addresses the ethical responsibilities of the insurance producer to prospects and clients, to insurance carriers and to third parties. Throughout the course, participants will discuss ethical dilemmas faced by insurance producers in order to determine the best course of action. We also discuss the E&O implications in many of the areas discussed.

Understanding Comm Prop Gaps & Knowing How To Fill Them

WEBINAR | SEPT 3 | 3 CE
This course will cover the basics of coverage gaps and exclusions, where coverage gaps are found, coverage gaps in the building and personal property coverage form. The instructor will conclude the webinar with valuation: replacement cost and exclusion the the CP 10 30 Causes of Loss – Special Form that Can be “Fixed”. 

CT P&C Pre-Licensing Course

Eroding: The Personal Lines Implosion and What Happens Next

WEBINAR | SEPT 15 | 2 CE
Personal Lines markets continue to deteriorate. Agents and account managers are scrambling, carriers are changing course daily, and the insured often is left with reduced coverage and higher premiums.  This course will explain how we got here and what insurance pros can do to understand, explain, and advise insureds as to how to protect themselves until conditions (hopefully!) improve.
