I’ve been in the industry for nearly 15 years and event I learned some things in this course! It’s a straightforward and intelligent way of presenting a complex issue. Not a small feat.
Everyone will find this course helpful, no doubt.
Broker, Canada
Most insurance courses are either pitched at people learning about the subject for the first time or jump straight into advanced topics. The ITC courses do a great job for all learners and I particularly liked the online format since you can either spend time starting from the beginning or quickly move on to the areas of most interest to you. The course material also went beyond insurance policy language – addressing risk management, claims processes, what buyers should consider, and more.
