This is it! CE Credit Deadline just days away.

May 29, 2015 | News

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?

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.

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.  Knowledge is power and in the insurance industry, power comes with having a measurable, competitive advantage.

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.
