AgentCampus Now Offering Florida Real Estate Learner for Life Package

AgentCampus.com announces the launch of its real estate Learner for Life Package in Florida, which includes both pre-license and post-license courses. Upon license renewal, students get unlimited access to continuing education (CE) courses at no additional charge.

AgentCampus.com, powered by 360training.com, announces the launch of its real estate Learner for Life Package in Florida. The learning package includes both pre-license and post-license courses. Upon license renewal, students get unlimited access to continuing education (CE) courses at no additional charge.

“The purpose of putting together this package, really, is to empower, and educate real estate professionals the right way,” says Ed Sattar, CEO of 360training.com. “Learner for Life means that you can get everything you need to become a successful real estate agent and also continue to take courses that can enhance your career anytime with more education,” he adds.

The pre-license courses that form part of the package builds the fundamentals of the student’s real estate career and include modules on: real estate career options, applicable laws and sanctions, ethics, unfair trade practices, mathematical computations, and environmental issues, among others.

The post-license modules take the basic knowledge imparted during the pre-license phase and adds on tools for time management, budgeting, communications, motivation, and negotiations. Advanced and practical courses are given on realtors’ code of ethics as well as case studies of unethical practices and scams – and how clients can be protected from these.

Ancillary but hot topics surrounding the real estate industry such as encountering laboratories for illegal drugs in certain locations, the presence of chemicals in the property or its vicinity, and other environmental concerns – which impact the prices and salability of property – will also be discussed.

“Being a Learner for Life means that you’re committed to not only maintaining your license but also having the tools you need to succeed at your fingertips throughout your career.”

Ed says. “The moment the learning stops, that’s when operational and reputational risks start cropping up,” he adds.

LearnInsurance.com Announces Availability of Annuity Suitability Online Courses

LearnInsurance.com, a pioneer in online insurance pre-licensing and continuing education courses, has announced the availability of its Annuity Suitability online courses. The latest training from the pioneer in insurance pre-licensing and continuing education provides content consistent with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) suitability in Annuity Transactions Model regulations, now mandatory in many states.

Each week, more states are adopting the NAIC regulations requiring licensed insurance professionals to take Annuity Suitability training if they intend to or currently sell, solicit or continue to sell annuities. Deadline for completion of the required training varies per state. LearnInsurance.com's Annuity Suitability course satisfies the 4-hour requirement in most states.

"The new NAIC regulations require insurers to exert reasonable effort so that there is good matching between the insurance being offered and the customer being offered the product," explains Ed Sattar, CEO of 360training.com. "It's just another way of ensuring that the insuring public stays happy and that they benefit from the insurance products they buy," Ed adds.

The NAIC Suitability in Annuity Transactions Model Regulations require insurers to set standards and procedures for suitable annuity recommendations to clients, and to establish a system to supervise recommendations so that the consumer's insurance needs and financial objectives are addressed.

The new LearnInsurance.com Annuity Training covers the various types of annuities, their specific distribution opportunities, tax consequences for withdrawals, and the parties to an annuity. Students will learn about the provisions associated with fixed, variable, and indexed annuities and how they affect consumers.

LearnInsurance.com's Annuity courses make sure that insurers, agents and representatives understand their accountabilities well enough to avert any possible complaints of misrepresentation by consumers.

The Annuity Suitability courses, as with other training offered by the 360training.com eLearning network are available online and can be taken 24/7 by insurers, brokers and agents.

Having Al Condello work on this project allowed us the ability to bring a true 'hands on' approach to the training and create real world scenarios to make our students understand the importance of 1910.120 and be safer and more qualified while on the job.' said Mike Millsap, Lead Trainer at 360training.com.

Workers must have initial 40 hour HAZWOPER training before they may enter the site and at least three days of actual field experience under a trained, seasoned supervisor. Our online course meets the standard requirement of 40 hrs of initial training. However, the three days field experience requirement should be met by the student/employer or potential employer.

Meanwhile, the 24 hour HAZWOPER course is designed for workers on site only occasionally for a specific limited task and who are unlikely to be exposed over permissible exposure limits and published limits. It is also for workers regularly on site who work in areas which have been monitored and fully characterized indicating that exposures are under permissible exposure limits and published exposure limits, where respirators are not necessary, there are no health hazards or the possibility of an emergency developing.

The annual 8 hour HAZWOPER refresher course is designed for general site workers who remove hazardous waste or who are exposed or potentially exposed to hazardous substances or health hazards. The refresher course must be completed annually within 12 months of completing a 24 hr or 40 hr HAZWOPER course.

360training.com Responds to the Gulf Oil Spill Catastrophe through Training

Austin, TX – As the Gulf Oil Spill situation continues to worsen, 360training.com—a leading provider of online compliance training—is taking action by offering a DEEP DISCOUNT on the required oil spill cleanup training called HAZWOPER to people who want to work or volunteer in the effort.

Why do you need HAZWOPER (or Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response Standard) training and how can taking this course help? The various organizations involved in the cleanup effort need workers with HAZWOPER training to ensure that they know how to handle and clean toxic substances. Their safety and the safety of those around them depend on this knowledge.

It's therefore no surprise that HAZWOPER is particularly in-demand right now because of its importance in the oil spill cleanup. Now, more than ever, we see the role that compliance training and keeping with EPA standards play in the worksite.

360training.com will provide the training would-be volunteers need to make a difference in what some are calling the worst oil spill tragedy in American history. "We need to do all we can to deal with this catastrophe because the future is at stake here," says Ed Sattar, 360training.com's CEO. "We believe that the best way our organization can contribute is to provide the crucial training volunteers need to clean up this mess."

HAZWOPER Oil Spill Training is just one of the many courses that 360training.com offers that help site workers gain a better understanding of not just how to protect themselves from hazardous waste, but also how to maintain public and environmental safety.
