Many in the insurance industry seem to think that insurance is, within itself, equal to risk management. But in reality, insurance is just one and only one tool used to manage the risks faced by every client – business and personal.

The Insurance Journal Academy of Insurance developed and is bringing a series detailing how insurance fits into the overall risk management process. It is called, “Beyond Basic Training.”

However, you have the opportunity to hear the principles to be taught in this series in a FREE, one-hour class on. In essence, you get to try before you buy the series.

Topics covered in the series are: Risk and its Relationship to Insurance; Risk Management Theory and Application; Truly Understanding the Insurance Mechanism; Public and Private Risk Sharing and Transfer; How is the Insurance Industry Regulated; The Legal and Contractual Aspects of Insurance; Insurance for Legal Liability Arising out of Negligence; and How to Read and Understand ANY Insurance Policy. For more information on each class, you can tour the class web page at: http://bit.ly/qPKwOF

During our free class on September 9, we will focus on risk management theory and what part insurance plays within its overall concept.

At the end of this free class, participants will receive a special discount code you can use to apply when you register for series. The code cuts $200 from the cost of the nine-part series.

. In addition, participants in the series receive a free electronic copy of our newest book, “Insurance is Not Risk Management: The Insurance Professional’s Guide to Risk Management and Insurance.”
