The Institutes Ethics - 2 courses? - cwendy111 - 03-11-2020

Confused. There are 2 courses available. Which one is the course you need to take to get 3 credits? I took Ethical Decision Making in Risk and Insurance exam and passed it. (Took Cyber ethics and have a real estate license) 

Do I have to take the other course too, Ethical Guidelines for CPCUs to get the ACE credit as the ACE course says Ethics and CPCU Code for Professional Conduct? 

I submitted for the ACE credit anyway with just the one course, but was wondering what everyone else's experience has been with the 2 available Ethics courses they have and getting ACE credit.

RE: The Institutes Ethics - 2 courses? - bjcheung77 - 03-11-2020

The course is 312N-H Ethics and the CPCU Code of Professional Conduct - Make sure to chose the free option, not the $5 CEU (Continuing Education Units). Do not take the 311 course as that's not for credit, many people have taken it just for fun but skip it since you don't need it.

Actually, follow this link to the WIKI, it's got all the free/inexpensive courses, take the Ethics recommended, there are other course providers that are recommended such as Onlinedegree.com and Saylor.org, skip the FEMA - Link here: https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/Free_Sources_of_Credit

312N-H Ethics and the CPCU Code of Professional Conduct (FREE)

https://www.theinstitutes.org/guide/ethical-guidelines-cpcus

RE: The Institutes Ethics - 2 courses? - cwendy111 - 03-11-2020

Yup. I ended up here: https://www.theinstitutes.org/guide/online-ethics-courses-free and took the chose the first course on the list, Ethical Decision Making in Risk and Insurance. Well didn't actually take the course, I just took the exam to see what I recalled from other ethics courses and passed.

Thanks for the confirmations all! I will get going on the right course. Although from first glance the coursework looks pretty similar. I will study a bit and then take the exam this time to get a better grade. I got a 72% cold, but, I am a RN with a real estate license so a lot of the ethical concepts are familiar.

I completed 311 just to have a feel of the topic and finished quiz with a 68.6 but since it didn't transfer I didn't care, (edited) I was able to purchase 312N, (my computer was lagging)
 TESU already listed it as PHI-288 on my planned courses.

This study guide is really good from their website. https://learning.theinstitutes.org/pluginfile.php/155393/mod_resource/content/12/Ethics_312_1e_ProductMap_RN.pdf

I think I completed 311 (Ethical Decision Making in Risk and Insurance) by mistake initially as well but it was a good study guide so to speak. Many of the same questions . My ACE request was rejected for that course. The study guide is helpful and helped me pass 312N-H just now with a with a 76%. Not stellar, but passing. It isn't easy material. but the ethics foundations are very familiar to other professional ethical organization standards.

Wait, did you pay for it? You are supposed to take the free course

No, it was free. I misspoke. Since in a sense it is still a transaction as you put course in cart. I passed the test with a score of 82% and transferred it through ACE. Found the course rather easy. And exam can be retaken multiple times.

Yeah, the transaction part was confusing along with there being 2 courses there. But Congrats on passing. I took my pass at 76% and left. I don't think the score transfers over. Does it?

Is the exam proctored?

RE: The Institutes Ethics - 2 courses? - bjcheung77 - 03-19-2020

Nope, no proctoring, all the FREE credit courses in the Wiki are non-proctored. The ones require proctoring has a fee to them for onlinedegree.com and saylor.org - CLEP is currently free because of ModernStates.org vouchers.
