What is an accredited course provider?
Accredited course providers (ACPs) have applied to the CE Accreditation Program and undergone a review process by an Accreditation Committee. ACPs are able to self-accredit their courses in accordance with the Insurance Council’s current
CE Guidelines.
What is the benefit of taking a course from one of the Insurance Council's accredited course providers?
Accredited course providers (ACPs) have undergone review by an Accreditation Committee to ensure they meet the program guidelines and requirements. ACPs must also take a mandatory training course once approved; the training course provides education on acceptable course content, assigning appropriate credit hours and how to stay in compliance with the Insurance Council’s
CE Guidelines,
Program Guidelines: Continuing Education Accreditation for Course Providers and the
Program Guidelines: Continuing Education Accreditation for Individual Courses.
Accredited course providers and their courses will be routinely audited to ensure compliance.
I don’t see a list for accredited courses, is this available?
The list of individual accredited courses is available
here. While the list of accredited course providers is also availabale on our website, ACP's will identify which courses are accredited on their individual websites.
How do I know if a course is accredited or not?
You can access the ACP list above; this list will be updated as course providers are accredited. Please visit the course providers’ websites and search their list of accredited courses.
How do I know if the course I am taking from an accredited course provider is accredited?
If you are taking a course from one of the accredited course providers listed and are unsure if the course you are taking is accredited, we recommend that you reach out to the course provider directly.
Can I still take courses offered by an organization that is not accredited with the Insurance Council?
Courses not accredited by the Insurance Council could still qualify for CE credits provided they meet the requirements of the CE Guidelines, but it is the licensee’s responsibility to self-assess these courses to determine if they meet the technical requirements specified by the guidelines.
I’ve already taken CE courses this licence period, do they not count?
Any courses taken that are not offered by an accredited course provider could still qualify for CE credit provided they meet the requirements of the CE Guidelines; it is the licensee’s responsibility to self-assess courses that are not Insurance Council accredited.
