FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ILScorp releases innovative Insurance Broker Ethics courses
Courtenay, BC – January 6, 2009 ILScorp founder Steve Hawrishok today announced that a series of courses dealing with Insurance Broker Ethics have been added to the ILScorp eLearning site at www.ilscorp.com
Mr. Hawrishok said he developed the three text and audio-based Ethics Courses after discussions with Canadian brokers and insurance regulators.
“The insurance industry has said it wanted a comprehensive course on broker ethics that will get brokers involved in determining what constitutes ethical and unethical behavior.
These courses do exactly that,” he said. “I wanted to do something that had not been done before and that was to present brokers taking these courses with a number of true-life scenarios and then have them identify whether or not the action taken by the broker in each scenario was ‘ethical/not unethical’ or ‘unethical’,” he said. “I also wanted brokers to know why the broker’s actions were considered to be ethical or unethical, and we do that in great detail for each of the over 90 scenarios that make up this series of ethics courses.”
The scenarios used in these courses were developed using existing Schedules and/or Bylaws of various Canadian regulators. “This has enabled us to ensure that we address the majority of regulations applicable to broker conduct in the majority, if not all, provinces,” said Mr. Hawrishok.
Ken MacRae, Vice President and CEO of ILScorp, said the Ethics Courses are a welcome addition to ILScorp’s already impressive catalogue of courses.
“We are always looking for high quality courses that add to the body of knowledge today’s insurance professionals need. These courses address a need that has been identified for quite some time, and does so in an innovative way,” he said.
“Our subscribers now have access to over two hundred insurance courses 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at our eLearning Centre at www.ilscorp.com”, he said.
