Description

This course is designed to give a moderately experienced insurance person a detailed look at (1) the liability exposures that give rise to employment-related claims and (2) the insurance policies that have been developed to cover these exposures. The first part of this course describes the most important common law exposures to employment litigation and the second part takes a look at specific coverage terms with EPLI forms. Next, third-party liability coverage, claims management, defense cost and "special conditions' are also described. Lastly, the exclusions and coverage triggers contained with the policies are analyzed.

CECs: 7 P&C in Maine 
Instructor - Kym Martell, CRIS

CEC's are given for participating in the virtual class.  If you wish to pursue the Construction Risk Insurance Specialist (CRIS) designation you will be given a voucher code to complete the online exam.  You must pass the 5 core course exams to earn the designation.  There is a reaccreditation requirement every 2 years. 

Online Testing
Those students seeking the CRIS designation must take and pass an online test after taking each class. The test is available when the student is ready, allowing additional study time after the course.  There is also an online review test for each exam, comprised of approximately 25 multiple-choice questions.  The review test is meant to prepare the student for the exam and is not in addition to or replacement of the final exam.   Those students not seeking the designation are NOT required to test.

Reaccreditation Requirement
Once you earn the right to use the CRIS certification you must engage in an ongoing continuing education process to maintain it. This involved obtaining 6hours of approved construction risk and insurance continuing education credit during the 24 months following initial receipt of the certification and every 12 months thereafter. You may obtain this CE credit by attending approved CRIS courses or conferences or completing online CRIS courses.
