Testimonials
Very informative in simple terms!
I found the Ransomware and Insurance 2022 Market Update to be very informative and delivered in simple terms. It will be beneficial to make it available in other languages like Spanish. Perhaps this can be done using a closed caption option.
ITC’s D&O and EPLI courses helped me understand the insurance proposals we receive AND to explain to my executive team and board members the risks we can (and cannot) manage through insurance.
Most insurance courses are either pitched at people learning about the subject for the first time or jump straight into advanced topics. The ITC courses do a great job for all learners and I particularly liked the online format since you can either spend time starting from the beginning or quickly move on to the areas of most interest to you. The course material also went beyond insurance policy language – addressing risk management, claims processes, what buyers should consider, and more.
ITC effectively tackles complex subject matters in a very creative manner. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to broaden their understanding.
Great way to enjoy an evolving subject matter. Thank you ITC, enjoyed that!
I am impressed with the programs ITC has put together for a myriad of reasons. They simultaneously offer a high level of sophistication while also being accessible to a variety of learners. As a broker who worked with clients of varying sizes in all industries, I would find these courses impactful for the new learner within this space focusing on their own business as well as a client who has been introduced to D&O insurance before or a current buyer. Also would recommend to broker’s wanting a holistic understanding of the product’s functionality and how to articulate it to clients. Further, as a D&O Underwriter, I found this refreshing and would highly recommend it to new underwriters or underwriters who provide coaching, mentoring, and training. The product is immensely versatile and engaging for its wide variety of appropriate users. I will most certainly be referring others to participate in these affordable and valuable courses.
