ABEN Online Ed
The next big thing in online continuing education is underway in Michigan.
ABEN (the Agents & Brokers Education Network) is a collaboration of many state insurance associations who have made it their goal to offer the best and most relevant CE and non-CE topics to agents all over the country. And best of all, you don't have to leave your office to attend them!
With their webcast platform, you'll be able to see their professionally produced programs live via streaming video. Follow along with the presenter's PowerPoint, submit questions, take notes, get full access to written materials, and even chat with other students.
Additionally, ABEN's helpdesk provides 24/7 assistance should you encounter any difficulty with the technology.
Currently in Michigan, ABEN is offering four non-CE sessions. One credit CE options will be available soon, and your Association is working with OFIR to offer 1+ CE opportunities in 2013.
