You asked, we listened! We have exciting news about OIA’s education offerings in 2019!
William T. Hold Seminars
They’re back! OIA is reintroducing William T. Hold Seminars in 2019 in Cleveland, Columbus and Middletown.
These are the perfect courses for CISR designees who want a new way to update their CISR designation. Keep an eye out for details on these courses!
New 16 hour format for CIC Institutes
We have great news about changes coming to next year’s CIC institute offerings!
If you’re a CIC designation holder, you’ll only have to attend two days of instruction to obtain an update on your CIC designation in 2019. This saves you time out of the office and the expense of a hotel room for an additional night.
For those pursuing a CIC designation, you’ll no longer have to cram both instruction and test-taking into the third day. In the 2019 institutes, you’ll experience two full days of instruction, with just your exam taking place on the third morning. In order for the institute to count toward your designation, you still must attend the third morning to complete (and pass) the test.
As a result of this change, 2019 CIC institutes will now be offered for 16 credit hours of continuing education per institute instead of 20. This is the same amount currently offered in the James K. Ruble Graduate Seminars.
Please note: These changes take effect in the December 2018 CIC Company Operations institute, as well as all of the 2019 institutes. The rest of the 2018 institutes remain in the traditional three-day format.
CPIA Bootcamp
Get your designation in just three days! OIA will be hosting a bootcamp of all three CPIA seminars on April 9-11, 2019.
These one-day Insurance Success Seminars are designed to enhance the ability of producers, sales support staff and company personnel to efficiently create and distribute effective insurance programs.
Online training
OIA will begin offering 3-hour live webinars for CE credit beginning winter 2018.
These webinars are 3-hour programs taught by nationally recognized faculty and offered in morning and afternoon time slots. More information to come!
Pre-licensing online training
Looking to get someone licensed in Property & Casualty or Life & Health?
We will be offering an online pre-licensing training option in Q4 of 2018. This online training is a combination of videos, online text, practice exams and online flashcards to learn and reinforce the content needed for the state licensing exam. More information coming soon!
New CIC education consultants
In 2019, we will welcome two new CIC Education Consultants to Ohio!
Dan Lawyer, CIC, CPCU, is originally from western Pennsylvania so he is almost an Ohio native.
Tom Humphreys, CIC, CPCU, CLU, ChFC, is from Michigan and currently works with Olivet College.
Both of these consultants have extensive teaching expertise as well as time working in and running agencies.
