Saturday June 21, is the 2014 Summer Solstice!
What does this mean?
Well it’s the day with the most hours of sunlight during the entire year, and the official start of summer!
So how do you plan to celebrate summer?
Light a bonfire? The solstice day was traditionally celebrated by dancing around the bonfires.
Plant a seed or a tree? Traditionally, to the farmer, the solstice is the midpoint of the growing season, halfway between planting and harvesting, and an occasion for celebration.
Start a new career? It may be the longest day of the year, but you can be on your way to a new career in a very short amount of time!
This summer start your new career in the insurance industry and become Life Licensed with ILScorp’s Life License Qualification Program (LLQP) exam preparation course.

Live immersion classes for ILScorp’s CAIB 3 & CAIB 4 will be held in Vancouver this June.
West Coast Training hosts the ILScorp CAIB level 4 exam prep live immersion course June 16-20 in Vancouver. Level 3 CAIB exam prep runs June 23-27. You must register with the provincial brokers association by June 13, 2014 in order to write your Canadian Accredited Insurance Broker exam following this course, on July 16.
Enjoy classroom sessions at the downtown Vancouver BCIT campus with the dynamic instruction of Todd Hochban, and be ready to write your CAIB exam in just a few short days.
CAIB 3 will cover the Commercial General Liability Policy (CGL), CGL Automobile Exposure, Marine and Aviation Insurance, and more.
CAIB 4 focuses on managing a brokerage. The course is different from CAIB 1-3, as it is very much based in theory, not in technical insurance wordings. In fact, in CAIB 4 will you won’t study any insurance coverages. With this course you will: learn about management and leadership within a brokerage; consider the organizational structure, human resources and technical needs of a brokerage; review the components of insurance brokerage marketing, and more.
If you can’t be in Vancouver, you can prep for any level of CAIB exam with the ILS CAIB Virtual Classroom program starting on July 21 and receive a study schedule, daily emails and quizzes and more. You’ll be ready to write any level of CAIB exam in just four short weeks.
Online self-study is a proven way to successfully prepare for insurance licensing examinations. Study at your own pace – stop the program at any time and return when you want. Go back over difficult-to-grasp points as often as you wish. More than 80% of students who prepare to write their Canadian Accredited Insurance Broker exams with the ILScorp CAIB tutorial courses are successful.
Instructor Todd Hochban highly recommends using the CAIB textbook in conjunction with the ILScorp CAIB Programs to thoroughly learn the material. CAIB textbooks can be purchased through your provincial brokers association. Contact the association directly for more information.
And remember when it comes to CAIB, ILS wrote the book! Our founder and past president Steve Hawrishok developed and wrote the CAIB course.
