SUMMARY:CAIB 1 Immersion (e-Delivery via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:During the pandemic, IBAS and our partners at West Coast Trai
 ning had to quickly come up with a 'new normal’ for the delivery of ou
 r popular CAIB Immersion training. Through an innovative approach to dig
 ital engagement, we were able to replicate the same quality of learning 
 and student experience that you would ordinarily receive in the classroo
 m, but using the Zoom videoconferencing platform. Students found this mo
 del to be both effective and convenient.\n\nOur lead instructor, Todd Ho
 chban, continues to mix his trademark instruction style with interactive
  assignments and other breakout sessions to ensure students are fully pr
 epared to write the CAIB 1 exam. And the proof is in the data. Last year
 , 96% of CAIB 1 Immersion students successfully passed the exam, compare
 d to only 64% of self-study students.\n\n-- Special December 2022 Intake
  --\n\nTo provide our members with maximum flexibility and education opt
 ions, we have partnered with the Insurance Brokers Association of Manito
 ba to offer a joint, special December 2022 delivery of our online CAIB 1
  Immersion course.\n\nThis intake will run December 3 – 9, 2022. Ther
 e will be a short orientation at 6:30 p.m. on December 3, followed by cl
 asses running Sunday through Friday, from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. (SK time).\
 n\nPlease note that there will not be a dedicated exam day. The exam wil
 l need to be administered by a qualified proctor or through IBAS at a la
 ter date. All exams must be completed before March 1, 2023. Any student
  who does not complete the exam within that timespan will lose the abili
 ty to write the exam and will not be eligible for a refund. \n\nTHE 
 COURSE REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS 2 P.M. ON NOVEMBER 28, 2022.\n\n-- What 
 equipment will I need? --\n\nOther than the CAIB 1 textbook, which must 
 be purchased separately, all you need to take advantage of this option i
 s a computer with reliable internet access. For individuals who may have
  slower connection speeds, you may choose to mute your computer speakers
  and microphone and use telephone-based audio (although you would contin
 ue to leverage the visual aspect of the delivery).\n\nA webcam is mandat
 ory to participate in the CAIB Immersion course.\n\n-- Registered Partic
 ipant Agreement --\n\nBy registering for the online CAIB 1 Immersion Cou

  Support --\n\nInsurance brokerages in Saskatchewan may be eligible to t

 of training.\n\nThe Re-Skill Saskatchewan Training Subsidy provides el
