The meaning of risk
That being said the content of the course was well thought out and useful, the resources were organized and it was short and to the point.
I only knew a couple of these key strokes so this has been very helpful so far.
This course should be taken not only for insurance brokers, but for every person who wants to get better in every aspect of his/her life.
It was a good course overall. A lot of good stuff has been covered. I feel there can be more discussion on insurance as a field. Also the instructor should discuss about his own real life cases and the challenges he faced in the insurance area.
