Here is how those are fulfilled!

Our current 15-credit course, “Who Are the People In Our Industry”, covers the ethics and professionalism, law,  and part of the flood requirements.   

For the Diversity requirement, we have a new 1-credit course, “Diversity and New York Licensees” - (NYCS-272779)
Note: You will need to take an additional 50 question test for credit.

Students who complete the 15-hour course will receive access to the Diversity course at no charge.

ITI recommends you obtain needed flood credits through the PIA, IIANY or contact your flood insurance carrier.

Be Well.

ITI is aware of the change to CE requirements for all licensees effective 4/1/22. While our current course meets most of the new requirements, we are working with the DFS to make our offerings fully compliant well before this deadline.

Please note that the requirement, with regard to Flood Insurance, only requires 1 hour of CE credit, unless the licensee intends to sell flood policies.  Flood insurance is in our course and we plan to expand it to meet this 1 CE hour threshold.  As has been our policy in the past, we suggest that licensees intending to sell flood insurance complete their carrier specific required training.

We will also have a Diversity training component in place well before the deadline.

The final Regulation can be read here: https://www.dfs.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2021/09/rf9_amend6_txt.pdf 

Thank you.

Producers:

The New York Department of Financial Services has permanently extended the waiver of in-person monitoring of CE exams for New York insurance producers, however exams are still required for self-study courses.  ITI continues to provide producers with a single 15-credit bridge course and exam to help you meet your CE requirement.  Please note that the extension to renew your license has expired and you must complete your CE and renew before your license expires!

Producers now register to take their exam online, although a paper exam can be requested by mail.  The course and exam are the same as our traditional format with a book available to download for review.  Exams are taken at your convenience after a required 7-day study period.  When you are ready to take the exam, simply log in with a password ITI provides.  Most students complete the process in less than 30 minutes.

Since 1996, ITI has provided in-person course exams across New York to help licensees meet their insurance CE needs.  We look forward to returning to our traditional in-person format at 30 locations around New York once the pandemic no longer threatens your health and safety.

We hope you continue to stay safe, wear a mask and wash your hands often.
