Bop It! Bringing The ISO Businessowners Policy to Center Stage
Sometimes the insurance world tries to do something that makes life easier for the client and that's the purpose of the BOP. The problem? Even in making things easier, things aren't easy. This class will examine the ISO BOP and MicroBOP, including which clients these might work for and the major coverage details.
Commercial Property: Five Bombs and How to Defuse Them
Commercial Property policies have gaps in coverage that are writting into them intentionally. Sometimes those gaps in coverage are for exclusions that cannot be insured. Sometimes, those gaps in coverage are created because the way the policy is written and rated, it doesn't anticipate certain losses and often those losses are likely to occur in connection with a property loss.
What's an insured to do about this? That's why Kevin Amrhein is with us. He's going to show us five places where there is a potential coverage issue and how we might help insureds to fix those issues.

Navigating the Waters of Inland Marine Insurance
Just when you think you're starting to get the language, we're going to introduce the inland marine policy to you. It has nothing to do with navigating the Mississippi river or the Erie Canal. It turns out that it's another property policy, but it's a really interesting kind of policy. Here's a fun fact, inland marine policies don't always tell you that they're inland marine policies, but they do cover property differently than other policies.
Join us as Academy Director, Patrick Wraight brings you this introduction to the versatile world of inland marine insurance. No life vest required.
Protecting Your Buildings, Your Stuff, and Your Money
Insurance is a world all of its own and when you're new to the business, it takes a while to get used to the words we use, the letter and number combinations that we come up with (and people seem to just understand), and all the other stuff that doesn't make much sense.
Join us as we begin a new series of classes designed to help the new insurance person navigate this new world with confidence. In no time, you'll know the differences between a building and personal property coverage form and a builders' risk coverage form. You'll even understand the differences between an open perils policy and a named perils policy and you'll understand why the phrase "all-risks" makes Patrick twitch.
Join us as Academy Director, Patrick Wraight, dives into the world of commercial property policies.
