Insurance Institute’s online courses aim to help brokers get more CE hours
CE OnDemand to serve brokers’ continuing education needs.
September 15, 2016
The Insurance Institute of Canada has launched CE OnDemand, a new catalogue of online courses based on a survey of brokers’ continuing education needs.
Brokers today say their biggest challenge is keeping up to date with product knowledge and emerging trends – and the pace of change is driving them online for their continuing education. Many are working hard to keep their clients up to date on new insurance products arising out of overland flooding, cyber risk, the sharing economy and other emerging trends, says Insurance Institute president and CEO Peter Hohman, MBA, FCIP, ICD.D.
“We have responded by offering knowledge about these topics in the online space, including our most recent offering, CE OnDemand.” CE OnDemand is a catalogue of online courses designed to fit within a broker’s busy work schedule. “Brokers will be able to take a one-hour CE course anytime they want during the day or night,” Hohman says. “All they need is a PC or laptop. They can download or print their CE certificate as soon as they complete the course and pass the final Knowledge Check quiz – it’s that easy.”
CE OnDemand is based on a recent poll of more than 600 brokers and general insurance agents. The Institute asked brokers about their work challenges, the topics about which they wanted to know more, and the factors they considered when selecting CE courses. Almost all (97%) of the brokers surveyed said relevant and interesting CE topics were important to them. The survey showed brokers most wanted to know about the topics of cyber risk, overland flooding, errors and omissions, business interruption, directors and officers, and insuring the sharing economy.
