DISCOVER COMET ONLINE LEARNING

COMET COMET Online Learning is a new approach to professional development from the Institutes.

Insurance professionals can’t afford to have gaps in their technical knowledge. Gaps in knowledge equal gaps in performance. And in this fast paced and ever changing industry, those gaps need to be filled quickly. You need timely and easy access to technical insurance knowledge that will help you be more productive and perform at a higher level.

COMET Online Learning courses

  • contain the Institutes’ trusted accurate and performance-enhancing technical insurance content
     
  • deliver learning in smaller, more manageable pieces
     
  • are broken down into individual easy-to-study modules; each module focuses on a single, concise educational objective that you need to know and understand by the end of the module
     
  • can be studied in just a matter of hours
     
  • include a short quiz at the end of each course to demonstrate understanding and comprehension

The first suite of courses, Insurance Fundamentals, is available now. Order just one course, several courses, or all of them.
