Step #1 - Homeowners Policy
When was the last time you really read the homeowners (HO) policy? We’ll do a complete overview of the HO policy, including all of the changes that have come down through ALL of the edition dates. Everyone should start on a level playing field. This may be your "Intro" course to the HO policy or a great "refresher" one.

Step #2 - MA Personal Auto Policy
The Personal Auto Policy (PAP) can be the "bread and butter" for many agencies! Gain a solid understanding of the coverages provided under this widely sold policy. Whether you’re an "old pro" at personal auto — or not — you must complete this course to become a "Proven Personal Lines Professional".

Not Offered in 2012 - Call Association Education at 1-800-222-2699 for future scheduling.


Step #3 - Miscellanous Property Coverage

We’ll take an in-depth look at the:

  1. Condominium Policy...what you need to consider when selling it, the differences between it and the HO policy and potential E&O problems;
  2. Dwelling Fire Policy...why you use it, and what it does that the HO policy would not do; and
  3. Inland Marine coverages...when they are used and coverages provided.

Step #5 - Issues & Problems In The Homeowners Policy

When you reach STEP 5, you’re over the hump! We’ll discuss:

  • How to understand the "ordinance or law" exclusion, E&O problems for agents, & how to provide coverage;
  • How to suggest the new ISO "Additional Limits of Insurance" endorsement which provides the answer to the "guaranteed replacement cost" issue; and
  • The "business issue" to see what’s excluded, what’s covered and available endorsements.
