✅ Course Content Overview

Hour 1 – NFIP Foundations, Compliance and Core Concepts

The National Flood Insurance Program's purpose and federal authority, community participation and floodplain management ordinances, and how flood zone designations work. Covers the three Standard Flood Insurance Policy forms, the mandatory purchase requirement for federally backed loans, and the disclosure responsibilities a producer carries when flood coverage is offered, declined or placed.

Hour 2 – Risk Rating 2.0, Underwriting and Policy Mechanics

The rating variables behind Risk Rating 2.0 and the underwriting data required to quote accurately. Distinguishes building from contents coverage and replacement cost from actual cash value, then works through endorsements, cancellations, refunds and policy transfers or assumptions at property transfer, along with the lender and condominium scenarios that most often cause confusion.

Hour 3 – Claims, Mitigation, Mapping Changes and Ethical Practice

The claims lifecycle from notice of loss through proof of loss and adjustment, substantial damage and substantial improvement determinations, and how to interpret map revisions and their effect on a policy. Covers mitigation strategies worth recommending, ethical sales practices including clear communication of limits and exclusions, and the checklists that reduce errors-and-omissions exposure.
