The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is the U.S. standard-setting and regulatory support organization created and governed by the chief insurance regulators from the 50 states, the District of Columbia and five U.S. territories. Through the NAIC, state insurance regulators establish standards and best practices, conduct peer review, and coordinate their regulatory oversight. NAIC staff supports these efforts and represents the collective views of state regulators domestically and internationally. NAIC members, together with the central resources of the NAIC, form the national system of state-based insurance regulation in the U.S. Since 1989, the NAIC Education and Training Department has offered professional development courses in insurance regulation for individuals at all levels of their careers and expertise. Annually, the NAIC offers over 50 courses that attract members, government personnel, international regulators, and insurance industry representatives. Courses are offered in a variety of formats including classroom, online, webinars, and self-study. Some courses have received national and international recognition, including three national awards for Excellence in Education from the American Society of Association Executives. The Education and Training Department supports the NAIC, in its role as a multidimensional, support organization for the insurance industry, by providing instruction in new industry trends and developments in market conduct, financial solvency, legal, and technological areas. Courses are designed based on relevant content, proven instruction design theories and adult learning principles, and cutting-edge technologies.
