The Ohio Department of Insurance (ODI) in conjunct- tion with Section 207 of the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004 now requires that agents writing flood insurance receive minimum flood insurance training. The deadline for Ohio agents holding an active license is December 31, 2008. Newly licensed agents must complete training by the end of their first compliance year. These seminars meet and exceed the minimum requirements outlined by FEMA. ODI has identified a separate continuing education category named – “NFIP Flood”. This course has been approved for that designation by the department. What You Will Learn This seminar provides a series of building blocks that address not only the most basic flood insurance issues, but more advanced components as well. At the conclusion of this seminar, attendees with little or no prior NFIP experience will understand how to build a flood insurance policy from the ground up. More experienced attendees will develop an even better understanding of the Standard Flood Insurance Policy’s major coverage areas; FEMA’s elevation certificate; and much more. This course is approved for 4 hours of Ohio continuing education credit. Ohio FAIR Plan Seminar Overview Another Great Opportunity!! * Ohio FAIR Plan History * Doing business with the Ohio FAIR Plan: * Underwriting Standards * Inspection Process * Product Offerings * Business Processing This course focuses on the Ohio Fair Plan Underwriting Association, a property pool supported by all insurance companies writing coverage in Ohio. At course completion, students will know the underwriting criteria for eligibility by available policy types and how to easily access the Ohio Fair Plan. Participants will be provided copies of current Applications, Supplements, Brochures and Underwriting Guidelines. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the Ohio Fair Plan, a viable alternative property insurance market available to all Ohio-licensed property insurance agents!! This course is approved for 4 hours of Ohio continuing education credit. It can be taken as a standalone course or be combined with the NFIP course to earn 8 CE credits in one day.
