With two newly developed continuing education courses up for offering, the Florida Surplus Lines Service Office (FSLSO) has completed its 2011 education schedule and registration is now open.

In an effort to create a more diversified classroom experience, FSLSO has partnered with subject matter experts to provide two newly approved education courses: "Navigating the Niche 2011 and the Florida Surplus Lines Service Office" and "Understanding Insurer Financials and the Florida Surplus Lines Service Office." Each of these courses will be taught at various locations in Florida including Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa, with the added incentive that Florida licensed surplus lines agents may take any of these offerings at no charge.

"Navigating the Niche 2011 and the Florida Surplus Lines Service Office" is a four-hour course that provides a hands-on practical guide on how to create, identify, and customize policies and underwriting for any target market group for both personal and commercial lines. Additionally, this course provides an overview of the FSLSO, its purpose and responsibilities, along with a look at its available products and services. Florida licensed surplus lines agents may attend this course for free; all others must pay an $80 registration fee.
