Continuing Education

IRMI is a provider of continuing education for a variety of professions and professional organizations.

We file the entire 3 1/2-day IRMI Construction Risk Conference with a large number of state licensing boards and professional organizations. As we obtain approvals, the number of credit hours available for each day of attendance will be posted here on a state-by-state (and profession) basis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can get credit?

  • Insurance agents, brokers, and adjusters can get CE credit in most states.
  • Attorneys should qualify for CLE credit in most states.
  • Architects and engineers can get AIA/CES learning units.
  • CPAs can get CPE credit.
  • CSPs can get COC credit.
  • Other professionals can get generic certificates of attendance.

How do I obtain credit?

(1) Verify that the information contained in your personalized 27th IRMI Construction Risk Conference Continuing Education Request Form (which will be handed to you with the Conference workbook when you check in at Conference) is correct and complete. Mark any additions or corrections in the space provided on the form, sign the form and return it to IRMI while you are at the Conference. If you have not previously furnished IRMI with your license information, you should plan to bring the information with you to the Conference so you can complete the form there. The information on the CE Request Form must be complete and the Form must be signed before it is turned in.

(2) If you are subject to the agents/brokers "no partial credit rule," attend a full day of sessions for each day in which you desire credit.

(3) Regardless of whether you must attend a full day of sessions to get credit or you are subject to the rules of a regulatory body that allows partial credit, attend each Conference session for which you desire credit in its entirety. Don't come in late, and don't leave early!

(4) Sign and turn in a required attendance voucher for each session for which you are requesting credit. Each session has its own voucher that is good for that session only, and it must be deposited in a box at the end of that session before you leave the room.

Is partial credit available?

Agents and brokers are subject to a "no partial credit rule." That is, CE credit is filed for and provided on a per diem basis, and credit for attending only part of a day is not available. Agents and brokers must attend all sessions for each day they desire credit and turn in all applicable attendance vouchers for those days. In some cases, partial credit may be available for attorneys, CPAs, and other professions and professional designations. For information about the specific type of CE in which you are interested, see above for attorneys, architects and engineers, and accountants.

In what states, and for how many hours, is this year's Conference approved for agents and brokers credit?

The 27th IRMI Construction Risk Conference will be filed for approval with regulatory authorities in most states. To find out if you can earn CE credit for your license, please see the Agents and Brokers CE Credit chart.

CE credit requirements are enforced in accordance with the rules of the governing organizations. For insurance agents and brokers, CE credit is filed on a per-day basis; thus, each day's credit stands alone. Agents and brokers can obtain credit for any entire day of the Conference they attend as evidenced by submission of completed vouchers for each portion of that day’s program. Partial credit is not available for attendance of only a portion of a given day. Thus, it is imperative that an agent needing CE credit attend a workshop during every time slot of the day during which an educational session is scheduled on the day for which he or she wants to receive credit. It is also vital that the agent sign and turn in the required attendance certification for each session attended.

Attorneys

IRMI is an approved MCLE provider in the state of California, and will file the Conference for CLE credit in selected states as listed in the Attorney's CLE chart.

Attorneys in most other states should be able to request and receive credit for their attendance at an IRMI seminar. If CLE has not already been approved in your state, please follow IRMI’s guidelines to obtain a certificate of completion. We will be happy to provide additional materials (e.g., outlines, speaker biographies, etc.) at the request of attendees or licensing entities. Please contact the CE Coordinator at 800-827-4242.

Unless otherwise prohibited, the number of hours of attendance credit that IRMI will certify is based on your actual hours in attendance evidenced by attendance vouchers deposited in accordance with our stated procedures. (The credit per session varies, depending on the number of minutes actually spent in the session.) Please do not ask us to certify attendance in excess of that for which you have deposited attendance vouchers as required.

What about AIA/CES credit for architects and engineers?

International Risk Management Institute, Inc., is a Registered Provider with The American Institute of Architects Continuing Education Systems. Credit earned on completion of this program will be reported to CES Records for AIA members. Certificates of Completion for non-AIA members are available on request. See the Architects and Engineers AIA/CES Learning Units chart for information on the number of learning units per workshop and whether the workshop qualifies for HSW credit for the 27th IRMI Construction Risk Conference.

HSW (Health, Safety and Welfare) in architecture is defined as anything that relates to the structural integrity or soundness of a building or building site. AIA members, as well as other architects licensed in states with mandatory continuing education requirements for re-licensure are required to complete a minimum number of hours of HSW-related training.

IRMI will furnish certificates of completion based on the total learning units for the sessions you actually attended as evidenced by the deposit of attendance vouchers.

What about CPE credit for CPAs?

IRMI is registered with the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors. State boards of accountancy have final authority on the acceptance of individual courses for CPE credit. Complaints regarding registered sponsors may be addressed to the National Registry of CPE Sponsors, 150 Fourth Avenue North, Suite 700, Nashville, TN, 37219-2417. Web site: nasba.org.

IRMI will furnish certificates of attendance based on your actual hours in attendance evidenced by attendance vouchers deposited in accordance with our stated procedures. (The credit per session varies, depending on the number of minutes actually spent in the session.) Please do not ask us to certify attendance in excess of that for which you have deposited attendance vouchers as required. The 26th IRMI Construction Risk Conference qualified for a total of 22 hours of CPE credit under NASBA guidelines.

What about other professionals?

This Conference is for professionals with all levels of knowledge in the subject matter, and no advance preparation is required. Where the Conference is not filed and granted a specific number of credit hours by a regulatory agency, IRMI will furnish certificates based on your actual hours in attendance evidenced by attendance vouchers deposited in accordance with our stated procedures. (The credit per session varies, depending on the number of minutes actually spent in the session.) Please do not ask us to certify attendance in excess of that for which you have deposited attendance vouchers as required.

How much does IRMI charge for CE, CPE, CLE, etc.?

At the present time, IRMI does not assess an additional charge to process most continuing education requests. There is one exception, as noted below.

Due to the cost of filing for agents, brokers, and other such licensees’ CE in the state of New York, there will be a flat charge of $50 for certificates for attendees with resident agent, broker, adjuster, or consultant licenses in New York.

When will I receive my certificates of completion?

Upon your submission of a completed Continuing Education Request Form and our receipt of appropriate attendance vouchers at the Conference, we will issue one original certificate (to you or your resident license state, as required) per day, in the case of agents and brokers. Due to the large number of requests for CE in connection with the Conference, it may take up to a full month for all certificates to be processed and mailed. However, we will begin to process both certificates and required rosters as quickly as possible.
