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 will be posted here on a state-by-state
(and profession) basis.

(1) You must submit the signed and completed
personalized 29th IRMI Construction Risk Conference Continuing Education Request
Form (which will be handed to you with the Conference workbook when you check
in at Conference). Verify that the information is correct, provide missing information,
and mark any 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 complement of workshops for each half-day in which you desire credit.
(3) Regardless of whether you must attend a half-day of workshops to get credit
or you are subject to the rules of a regulatory body that allows partial credit,
attend each Conference workshop 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 workshop for which you are requesting credit. Each workshop
has its own voucher that is good for that workshop only, and it must be deposited
in a box at the end of that workshop before you
leave the room.
Agents and brokers are subject to a "no partial credit rule." That is, CE
credit is filed for and provided on a half-day basis, and credit for attending
only part of a filed course is not available. Agents and brokers must attend
all workshops for each half-day they desire credit and turn in all applicable
attendance vouchers for those periods. 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 and accountants.
The 29th 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 half-day
program basis (except for Workshop M6, "Workers Compensation Insurance for Contractors,"
which is filed on a full-day basis); thus, each half-day's credit stands alone.
Partial credit is not available for attendance of only a portion of a given
filed program. It is vital that the agent sign and turn in the required attendance
certification for each workshop attended.
We take a two-pronged approach to CLE with the IRMI Construction Risk Conference.
First, we file it in the states listed in the Attorney's
Filed CLE chart. These states were selected because it is common for us
to have a number of attorneys attend from them.
We do not have enough attorneys attend from the states listed in the
Attorney’s Self-File CLE Chart to
justify the expense of filing the Conference with these states in advance. While
we do not file in these states, each of them has a self-filing process that
you can follow to secure CLE credit following the Conference. While we will
help you assemble the information about our program that you need to make this
filing, it is your responsibility to take care of it. Please note that many
states require you to make this filing within 30 or 60 days of the Conference.
How To Self-File for CLE
If you are an attorney licensed in one of the attorneys self-file CLE states
and would like to complete a self-filing, first consult
your state's Web site to find the necessary
forms and determine what information you will need to file with the form(s)
to obtain CLE approval. In some states, you will need to include outlines of
the workshops you attended, speaker biographies, or the handouts that were distributed.
These documents will be posted on this Web site the week following the Conference.
Additionally, you may need to attach a certificate of completion. We will
send you a certificate showing completion of the number of hours of workshops
for which you turned in attendance vouchers. The credit per workshop varies,
depending on the number of minutes actually spent in the workshop. Please do
not ask us to certify attendance in excess of that for which you have deposited
attendance vouchers as required.
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 workshop varies, depending on the number
of minutes actually spent in the workshop.) Please do not ask us to certify
attendance in excess of that for which you have deposited attendance vouchers
as required. For more information regarding administrative policies such as
complaint and refund, please contact our offices at 800-827-4242.
- Group-Live; basic program level; no prerequisite or advance preparation
is required.
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 workshop varies, depending on the number of minutes actually spent
in the workshop.) Please do not ask us to certify attendance in excess of that
for which you have deposited attendance vouchers as required.
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.
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 filed program, 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.
