Insurance on Property is an introduction to property insurance. As one of the building blocks of your CIP Program, this course lays the foundation for many types of property insurance, with explanations of the legislative framework that governs them and of their principles, doctrines, and other characteristics. Insurance on Property shows how that framework and those common features are reflected in the most common commercial and especially personal lines insurance policies. Insurance on Property also discusses applications of property insurance in the work of brokers and agents, underwriters, and claims adjusters. We recommend you take C11: Principles and Practice of Insurance before C12: Insurance on Property.
