The Institutes

Got a hair?  Let's split it.

Wouldn't ACE be just a bit concerned that the course name of the approved course isn't offered any more and an alternate name is being sold as the approved course.  Likely kosher but odd.

Evidently not.  As I detailed in a previous reply, I completed "Ethical Guidelines for CPCUs".  On my profile at The Institutes, it is shown as "Ethical Guidelines for CPCUs, 1st edition", and it shows on my ACE transcript as "Ethics and the CPCU Code of Professional Conduct".  

To review, I completed the free course that is on offer right now, ACE accepted it, and my school reviewed the ACE transcript and approved it for my academic plan, where it shows as "Ethics and the CPCU Code of Professional Conduct".

I've no idea what started the controversy over this course.  But if it was because someone completed "Ethical Guidelines for CPCUs" and did not get ACE approval, or got ACE approval but was subsequently told by their school, "Hold on, this isn't Ethics and the CPCU Code of Professional Conduct!  Shenanigans!" then I'd be willing to bet we'd have heard about it.

It's a free course you can take from the comfort of your own home, that doesn't require the use of an invasive, for-pay proctoring service, for two ACE-approved UL credits.  Take it, or don't take it.  If you want to make sure you aren't wasting your...um...zero dollar investment, then email any combination of customersuccess@theinstitutes.org, credit@acenet.edu, or your school advisor, until you are absolutely satisfied that "Ethics 312",  "Ethical Guidelines for CPCUs", and "Ethics and the CPCU Code of Professional Conduct" are all one and the same.
