Alberta you’re up! Get ready for your June 30 CE deadline.
While most insurance professionals in BC are breathing a huge sigh of relief this fine Monday morning, Alberta brokers, agents and adjusters are stepping up to the CE home plate for a few practice swings.
Alberta you’re up!
Your June 30 CE deadline is just around the corner, so get online and get to work.
(I know it it’s Monday and you aren’t even thinking about CE yet, but don’t worry Alberta, we’ll be badgering Manitoba Adjusters too, not just you. Promise.)
Here’s a friendly reminder of your Alberta Insurance CE requirements and record keeping obligations.
General insurance – July 1 to June 30 annually – 15 CE credits
Adjusters – July 1 to June 30 annually – 15 CE credits
Life and Accident and Sickness – July 1 to June 30 annually – 15 CE credits
Agents, brokers and adjusters in Alberta must maintain their continuing education certificates for three years after the expiry of the licensing period in which the credits were earned. The Alberta Insurance Council may conduct random audits and these audits will only extend back three years.
Alberta allows for a carry-over of 7.5 hours/credits per year, per insurance class.
All licensees will be required to earn 15 hours of credits per certificate (with a carry-over of 7.5 hours per year allowed.) When renewing his or her license, the licensee must declare that he or she has obtained the required number of hours. The Alberta Insurance Council may conduct random audits.

This is it! CE Credit Deadline just days away.
Feeling panicky about your May 31 CE credit deadline?
Yes you better believe it, your CE credit deadline is this Sunday. (Insert panic, and perhaps a few choice words here)
So this is around the time you promise yourself you wont leave your CE to the last minute again next year. Sounds familiar right? Your intentions are good, but how do ensure you don’t end up in the same CE Credit Cram?
How to avoid the CE Credit Cram.
Start Early.
Procrastinator? No not you! You just leave everything to the last minute because by then you’ll be older and wiser. Nice try. Properly allocating time to complete your CE can turn a really stressful last minute situation in to something much more manageable. (OK so your time management skills need a little help? Check out ILScorp’s Time Management Course)
Understand Expectations.
Know what is expected of you. As an insurance agent, broker or adjuster in Canada you must comply with your provincial continuing education requirements and record keeping. Discovering that you actually need 10 CE and not 5, is probably not the way you want to start Monday morning. Not sure what your CE requirements are? For full Canadian insurance licensing requirements, obligations and restrictions visit the ILScorp Resource Center, to view the licensing regulations for your province.
Set Goals.
When setting study goals and CE completion tasks, the most important thing to do is be honest and realistic with yourself and your ability to study. Your study goals should not be intense, life altering, unachievable tasks, (Save those for New Years) ensure you include time for work, relaxation and your social life. With an ILScorp CE Course Subscription you have unlimited online access to all your CE courses for 6 months. Set a goal to complete a few hours of CE each month, and by this time next year you’ll actually be enjoying your weekend before the deadline.

Frustrated with your Continuing Education Options?
What separates good continuing education from great continuing education?
Good continuing education gets the desired message across, great continuing education is learning that engages, excites, and exceeds learner expectations.
ILScorp’s online continuing education courses, with frequent interactives, visual stimulation and self-pace environment, facilitates positive and easy information transfer.
Incorporating compliance and knowledge-based courses, ILScorp’s online courses allow you to gain not only the continuing education credits required to maintain your insurance license, but also the practical education and knowledge that will set you, and your business, apart from the competition.

ILScorp’s Online Learning courses are designed and implemented specifically for the unique requirements and needs of your organization and your employees.
Online courses as part of your continuing education program, compared to classroom training.
EFFECTIVENESS: According to the Department of Education, “online learning has been modestly more effective, on average, than the traditional face-to-face instruction with which it has been compared.”
Group learning and classroom progress assume every learner proceeds at the same pace. It ignores individual learning differences. Online learning with its frequent interactives, visual stimulation and self-pace environment, facilitates positive and easy information transfer.
Online Learning content is an infinitely usable, and reviewable resource, with the ability to quickly update / edit as needed to ensure your students are accessing the most up to date content available.
