CSIO Announces the Digital Broker Certification

September 24, 2020 |

(Toronto – September 24, 2020) – CSIO is pleased to congratulate the first cohort of CSIO Digital Brokers. These 32 CSIO members demonstrate a commitment to continuous learning, innovation and digital best practices. The new CSIO Digital Broker certification recognizes brokers who have completed six CSIO eLearning courses. These courses are offered on digital topics related to the business of insurance, to help brokers maintain their competitive edge, update their digital skills, and keep them up-to-date on latest digital trends.

“I’m honoured to be recognized as a CSIO Digital Broker,” said Carole Moran, Epic Trainer – Alberta, with BFL Canada. “I took the first three courses to use for licensing credit but quickly realized that the material was very interesting and relevant to not just our insurance careers but to our daily lives. I want to thank CSIO for these wonderful courses, I look forward to seeing what new courses you create for brokers.”

About the CSIO Digital Broker eLearning Program

The CSIO Digital Broker eLearning Program is the P&C insurance industry’s preferred choice for online education. Course topics are selected based on what CSIO members have most requested, in order to support their professional development and enhance their knowledge of current digital issues. With the global pandemic, the trend toward eLearning has continued to grow, with almost 3,500 participants in CSIO webinars and eLearning courses so far in 2020.

There are currently nine eLearning courses, with new courses added regularly. In the coming weeks, CSIO will launch a series of “Spotlight on Industry Leaders” videos, which are hour-long talks and expert panels discussing industry-wide issues, in particular, how the pandemic measures have changed the insurance industry.
