The course was a basic refresher on what essentially makes up a contract and the main elements contained in a standard insurance policy, especially the differences between the insurer and insured.
The idea that policies must be written in simple language was new to me. Also, that courts follow the "contra preferendum" rule favoring the insured. Lots of good insights were provided.

Very comprehensive and clearly laid out. I especially liked examples provided, discussion of relevant cases, and displays/walkthroughs of standard clauses in insurance contracts.

This overview covers all the major parts of an insurance policy. Note that this course is very basic and is geared toward someone who has no experience with insurance policies.

Good course. Manner in which ambiguous terms are dealt was a surprise. Any person responsible for the review of insurance contracts should take this course.
