Commercial Property Master Class
How's your commercial property expertise? If you're not the expert that you want to be, this series is designed to help you. Over eight sessions, we will walk through many commercial property concepts, including:
*What's important about building construction?
*Why do we care about what's going on in the building?
*What property is covered on a commercial property policy?
*What are the covered causes of loss?
*What endorsements are available to modify the commercial property policy?
We designed this master class to let you jump in at any point. The classes build on each other but are separate enough that you don't have to attend them in any specific order or start with any specific one. Jump in at class number one, six, or any other. By the end, you'll have the full picture.
Once you've attended all of the sessions, you can sign up for and take our end of course assessment. Earn a passing grade and you'll be given your certificate as an Academy of Insurance Commercial Property Master.

Commercial Property Master Class - Selected Endorsements
We know that the ISO Commercial Property Policy includes an exclusion for ordinance or law. Did you also know that there is an endorsement designed to provide the coverage to fill this exclusion? Did you also know that you can endorse flood as a covered cause of loss onto the commercial property policy? Join us as Academy Director, Patrick Wraight helps us with these and other endorsements.
Commercial Property Master Class - Causes of Loss Forms, Exclusions
One of the first questions that must be addressed in the event of a property loss is what caused the loss?
After the cause of loss is determined, the next question is whether that cause of loss is a covered cause of loss.
In this session, we will dive into commercial property causes of loss forms to discover the difference between a covered cause of loss and an excluded cause of loss and find ways to change them.
Commercial Property Master Class - Additional Coverages, Coverage Extensions, and Optional Coverages
The ISO Commercial Property Policy includes coverages that are not the main coverages but are in some ways just as important as building and business personal property.
This session walks through those other important coverages, such as debris removal, outdoor property, and replacement cost valuation.
Commercial Property Master Class - Covered Property and Property not Covered
When the insured has a commercial property policy, one of the biggest question, is what is actually covered?
Is all of the property that they might own covered?
How do we know what is covered and what isn't?
Is there a way to change what property is covered and what isn't covered?
Commercial Property Master Class - Commercial Property Policies, Policy Structure
Which policy does an office building need?
Does a Condo Association policy need different policies if its a residential condo, or an office condo?
What about Business Income? Is that a different policy, or is it part of another policy?
Join us in the fourth session of our Commercial Property Master class as Academy Director, Patrick Wraight introduces us to the different commercial property policies available, when you might need them, and how they're put together.
