Wording Review: The Homeowners Comprehensive Package (Template Wordings)

This mini course does a quick review of a Homeowners Insurance Package policy which includes:

• The Homeowners Comprehensive IBC 1155 wording - which is Section 1 of a package policy covering personal lines property. 
• The Homeowners Liability IBC 1164 wording - which is Section 2 of a package policy covering personal lines liability.
• NOTE: These wordings are not sold in today's market; however, they serve as a template - a basis upon which today's Insurers have built on to create their package policies.

The IBC 1155 and IBC 1164 are a good introduction to familiarize yourself with Homeowners wordings.

Overview of Common Homeowners Endorsements

This course is a continuation from the Homeowners wordings course.  The focus is on the common homeowners endorsements we sell today.

Like with the other wording review courses, the discussion is general because every insurer offers their own version with their own twist in terms of limits and deductibles offered, coverage, extensions and exclusions to these endorsements.

Even though it is a general discussion, it does go through the endorsements in detail.  You may want to review the video a couple of times over.  As always, we recommend that you pull similar wordings from one or two of your insurers to start and compare and contrast between them.

Evaluators / Replacement Cost Calculators

This course goes beyond the software training (Applied ITV, ezITV, RCT, etc.) and discusses the common questions Brokers need to ask clients to plug into the software.

Webinar: Overland Water

This webinar goes into more detail on Overland Water coverage available in our industry today (originally recorded in November and December 2018).

The purpose is to help Brokers develop a comfort level with the terminology and the offerings that are available for our Insureds.

Overview of the SPF No. 1 and Common Endorsements

This mini-course provides an overview of the Automobile Standard Policy Form No. 1.

The wording used in this course is the 2016 version from the Government of Nova Scotia.  It is similar to other Canadian Provinces.  

Upon reviewing this course, you are encouraged to look at your own auto policy to compare and contrast coverage.  If you live in another province, even a Maritime province, you will still find variations among the SPF#1s due to differences in our laws and our governments.
