What separates good continuing education from great continuing education?
Good continuing education gets the desired message across, great continuing education is learning that engages, excites, and exceeds learner expectations.
ILScorp’s online continuing education courses, with frequent interactives, visual stimulation and self-pace environment, facilitates positive and easy information transfer.
Incorporating compliance and knowledge-based courses, ILScorp’s online courses allow you to gain not only the continuing education credits required to maintain your insurance license, but also the practical education and knowledge that will set you, and your business, apart from the competition. Knowledge is power and in the insurance industry, power comes with having a measurable, competitive advantage.
ILScorp’s Online Learning courses are designed and implemented specifically for the unique requirements and needs of your organization and your employees.
Online courses as part of your continuing education program, compared to classroom training.
EFFECTIVENESS: According to the Department of Education, “online learning has been modestly more effective, on average, than the traditional face-to-face instruction with which it has been compared.”
Group learning and classroom progress assume every learner proceeds at the same pace. It ignores individual learning differences. Online learning with its frequent interactives, visual stimulation and self-pace environment, facilitates positive and easy information transfer.
Online Learning content is an infinitely usable, and reviewable resource, with the ability to quickly update / edit as needed to ensure your students are accessing the most up to date content available.

Long weekends are a wonderful break from the craziness of work. Unfortunately, they can often slip away quite quickly, somehow leaving you with more to do than before the weekend started and no idea of where your time went. So how can you make the most of your long weekend?
First, get your CE done. Does it sound lame? You bet. Will you be glad you did it? Yes. Get online and get to work. You know you’re going to be completely slammed at the end of May, that’s just how things work.
So a least get a head start this weekend, spend a few hours completing your CE requirements, instead of fruitlessly trying to find time at the end of the month when you’re stressed out. With ILScorp accredited continuing education courses, you have unlimited access anytime and anywhere you have an internet connection. This means you can complete your CE on the patio, at the beach or wherever the long weekend takes you.

Just focus on how much better things will feel afterward.
The best part? Completing your CE online with ILScorp is fast and easy. You’ll have time to do all the long weekend fun stuff and you won’t have to feel guilty or stressed. You may even want to celebrate your CE completion with a “One and Done” cocktail with friends.
