Senior Underwriter, Canada

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.

How do ITC subscriptions work?

With both subscription options you get immediate access to the entire course library as well as access to all additions and updates for as long as you continue to subscribe. For best value we recommend the annual subscription.

Is my certificate of completion valid after I get a refund?

If you request a refund, your account will no longer be valid and your certificate of completion will not be accessible.
