This complete online Iowa Insurance package will give you everything you need to renew! The Iowa Insurance Division has chosen to allow students to complete all 36 hours of their required CE through online methods permanently. See Iowa Administrative Code Chapter 11.

This package includes topics on all major lines of authority: Life, Health, Property, and Casualty. We'll start with a discussion about different topics surrounding ethical practices, such as ethics versus morals, ethics in practice, ethical decision-making models that illustrate how ethical dilemmas may be solved, and the terminology used in ethics, such as tort law, equity, and more. The course will assist the student in making the proper ethical decisions, provide examples of poor ethical choices, and the legal enforcement of ethics.

Next, we'll review key concepts and principles of Property and Casualty insurance. We'll discuss concepts including automobile insurance, commercial package policies, businessowners insurance, workers’ compensation insurance, and other forms of property and casualty insurance such as excess and umbrella insurance and flood insurance.

Finally, we'll cover training on a number of topics including the general concepts of insurance, annuities, qualified retirement plans, disability insurance, dental insurance, long term care insurance, and the taxation of life and health insurance benefits.

Each course ends with a final exam that you can take as many times as needed to pass.
