Online CE Courses

Why do they call it Labor Day?

For many, Labour Day signals the end of summer, but Labour Day is an annual holiday to celebrate the achievements of workers. Labour Day has its origins in the labour union movement, specifically the eight-hour day movement, which advocated eight hours for work, eight hours for recreation, and eight hours for rest.

RIBO Ethics CE, you need 1 hour every year!

The Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario recently updated the continuing education requirements for all RIBO Licensees.

Once you pass the final quiz you can print your CE certificate immediately. We will keep your CE certificate on file for up to 7 years in-case of audit.
