How does Ethics and the CPCU work? is that via ACE? is the course difficult?

Also what is AIMs? and how does that work?

Same thing with DreamDegree...

This ethics course is free, 2cr, and you can just do the exam if you don't want to go through the course: Preserve the trust on which insurance transactions are based with an understanding of ethics

DreamDegree is free, up to 30cr, there have been some issues; it's much easier if you just read the forum posts about it before doing anything with them (start at the beginning of each and read all the way through):
http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...edits.html
http://www.degreeforum.net/general-educa...ipt-6.html

Both are ACE-approved.

No idea on AIM's.

The test is part of the course, it's all free, and you have to pass the exam to get the credit. You can take it as many times as you want.

A cheaper (but not faster) way to do it is to go through TESC. Take 4 ALEKS courses in 1 month ($20 for 12cr), free Kaplan (3cr), free Ethics (2cr), free TEEX (6cr), free NFA (3cr), 1 Saylor course ($25 for 3cr), and 1 TECEP ($111 for 3cr), and you have 32cr for $156. Not bad. But not fast.

-- Saw this in another thread. What is the kaplan credit?
