NEW VERSION OF INSURANCE ESSENTIALS
In October 2005, the Institutes released an updated version of its popular Insurance Essentials course. The new edition is a 12-module, Web browser-based CD-ROM that runs from a PC or a network server. Insurance Essentials teaches essential insurance concepts and provides a solid overview of the insurance industry in just four to six hours. The course is available for individual purchase or multi-user licensing.
Students who opt to take the free multiple-choice exam and score at least 80% earn a certificate of completion from the Institutes. To facilitate administration of the Insurance Essentials exam, it is now offered at Institutes Approved On-Site Test Centers during our four testing windows. Alternatively, students may test at anytime via a secure server on our Web site by registering with Customer Service.
Customer Service can provide further information on the newest edition of Insurance Essentials.
AIC RECOGNITION AT THE PLRB
If you or anyone in your organization earned the AIC designation in 2005, we invite you to attend a special AIC Conferment Ceremony and Reception at the 2006 PLRB annual conference to celebrate your achievement. The reception will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, TN, on Sunday, April 2, 2006.
You will receive formal recognition of your achievement followed by an opportunity to network and celebrate with industry colleagues and make new friends. All those who hold the AIC, CPCU, or another Institute designation are invited to attend this exclusive event.
