We’re pleased to announce a number of new features to insurancelink that makes earning CE credits for your insurance license easier than ever.
Multi-Province CE Certificates
First, we’ve implemented a new multi-province certificate generation capability. This will be very useful for people who are licensed to sell insurance in more than one province — or have multiple types of licenses within the same province.
Now, when you’ve completed a course you’ll have the option to change the province that your certificates are generated for:
If you click the “change” button you’ll be given a drop-down menu that will allow you to change your province or change your license type. Our example below is for someone licensed to sell life insurance in Ontario with the FSRA, and suppose they are also licensed to sell general insurance (property & casualty insurance) in Ontario as well with RIBO. It’s simply a matter of selecting the other province, or in this case RIBO, and clicking save.
Then, all your certificates that are valid for RIBO (or the other province you selected) will be listed and available for download.
Note that we carefully check to ensure the course you took is approved for credit in the new province or licensing body. In other words, if you took a course for CE credit for your life insurance license with FSRA and that course was specific to life insurance, there would be no certificate for RIBO in Ontario.
Some provinces and insurance councils like RIBO and Alberta’s Accreditation Committee need to review individual courses before they are approved, and for that reason plus the course content itself we must validate the certificates for each locale you are requesting.
It’s a great new feature for people who have multiple insurance licenses!
Adding Your CIPR # to Certificates
CIPR stands for Canadian Insurance Participant Registry and licensed insurance holders will have a CIPR #. In Alberta, the AAC (Alberta Accreditation Committee) has requested we add a customer’s CIPR # to their CE certificates.
We’re recently added this capability so customers can give us their CIPR # once and we’ll add it to all their certificates moving forward. It’s a really simple process. Our system will detect if you’re in Alberta and then request your number:
Then, once you’ve completed your first course your CIPR # will be listed on your certificate.
Right now, we only do this for Alberta customers because they are the only province that mandates this. However if there’s interest, we’re happy to provide this capability to customers in other provinces. It’s further proof that the CE course you took for credit is valid for the insurance body that you renew your license with.
Certificates in Alberta will now have your CIPR number listed next to your name:
We hope these new changes add a little more value to the purchase you’ve made with insurancelink. And we’re happy to announce that these changes are also available to customers who sign up for our free CE course for insurance as well. In other words, you don’t have to pay us anything to try out our system by taking a free course.
