WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR:
 
SimplyCE’s course titled "Guide to Business Policies" would benefit individuals pursuing or holding the following insurance licenses:

This is the most relevant license since business insurance policies fall under commercial lines. The course would cover topics like:

  • General Liability Insurance
  • Commercial Property Insurance
  • Business Interruption Insurance
  • Workers' Compensation
  • Professional Liability (E&O Insurance).

2. Health Insurance or Life & Health License (L&H License)

 If the course includes coverage topics such as group health insurance, key person insurance, or business-related disability insurance, it would also be relevant to life & health insurance agents.

 

3. Adjuster License (P&C Adjuster or Commercial Claims Adjuster)

Claims adjusters who handle business-related claims (like property damage, liability claims, or business income losses) would benefit from a deeper understanding of commercial policies.

In summary, this course is especially valuable for individuals pursuing or holding Property & Casualty (P&C) licenses or those in commercial insurance roles.
