Are you new to the insurance industry and overwhelmed by its complexity? Are you thinking about starting a career in insurance or insurance regulation but unsure of where to begin? The NAIC can help you master the fundamentals of insurance with our An Introduction to the Insurance Industry and its Regulation text/test-based course! Primarily designed to provide both new regulators and industry professionals with a working knowledge of insurance, this course also offers a balanced, systems-oriented view of how industry professionals and regulators work together to protect and meet the needs of consumers. Through independent study, you will be introduced to such topics as the role of insurance in our economy, insurance and the management of risk, and insurance product lines, among others.
Start any Monday, beginning February 3, 2020.
You have six weeks to complete this Text/Test-Based Course.
The An Introduction to the Insurance Industry and its Regulation course text will be sent electronically prior to your selected start date. During the first five weeks of the course, you will read the course text. You will receive a separate email at the beginning of your sixth week with instructions on how to access the online exam.
You have two attempts to successfully complete the exam, and both attempts must be completed within the six-week time frame.
