Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

Insurance is a tool for transferring financial risks you cannot afford to absorb, and most people overpay for small risks while leaving the big ones exposed. This course teaches the core mechanics, deductibles, premiums, limits, and exclusions, then walks through life, health, home, and auto coverage with real numbers and worked examples. You will finish able to right-size every policy, drop the junk add-ons, and compare two quotes that look identical but are not.
