Tell me more about California Senate Bill 620 and how this effects how annuities will be sold in 2005?
Senate Bill 620 requires that resident and non-resident agents who wish to sell annuities in California in 2005 must take a special 8-hour Continuing Education course before 12/31/04. We refer to the course as special because it could change how annuities are sold after January 1, 2005 as it relates to in-house solicitations, replacements, surrender charges, and more. W.V.H, Inc.’s C.E. course, The Encyclopedia of Annuities 2004, (online, CD-ROM, and textbook version) is approved from the California Department of Insurance.
Why is this Continuing Education course so unique?
Our course, The Encyclopedia of Annuities 2004 (course #156698), may be the only course on CD-ROM that includes narration, interactive calculators, and short films from past Presidents of the United States.
What makes the provider so unique?
The CE provider, W.V.H., Inc., has produced CD-ROMs, DVDs, media websites, multi-media websites, manuals, video and audio cassette libraries, and client seminar presentations on the topic of annuities, life insurance, and other financial products. With 4 decades of annuity experience, they are one of California's oldest Continuing Education providers.
What is the difference between your online, CD-ROM, and textbook CE course.
Since this course can be taken online, on CD-ROM or via a textbook, each has their own advantages. The internet course is affordable, very affordable. The textbook is large, easy to read, and will look great in your library because of the cover and charts. The CD-ROM is a robust multi-media tool with narration, interactive calculators, and short historical video clips (these historical video clips are relevant and important but not part of the CE course and exam).
How do I order this CE course?
Simply click on our 8-hour California Continuing Education Course link and select the CD-ROM course or our textbook course. To order the online course, click on Begin Online Course and register online.
May I print the course?
Yes, you can print the course online or from your CD-ROM and read it at your leisure.
How do I know if I passed the CE course?
Once you take the exam, you can click on the button titled, "Submit." Ideally, in less than 5 seconds, W.V.H., Inc. electronically receives your exam, electronically grades it, and then electronically notifies you whether you passed or failed...all ideally, in less than 5 seconds. Naturally, you'll need an internet connection when you want the above to occur. You must score a 70% or higher to pass.
If I pass the CE course, do you notify the CA Department of Insurance?
If you pass the course, W.V.H, Inc. will notify the CA Department of Insurance that you successfully passed the course. Once you print the Certificate of Completion, W.V.H, Inc. gets notified. If you can not print the Certificate of Completion, this means W.V.H, Inc. has not been notified and you should notify us of the problem at
annuitycetest @ wvhinc.com.
How many times can I take the test?
Using the online course, you have up to 4 times to pass the test. Using the CD-ROM, you have up to 2 times to pass the test.
