The implementation of PA 67 of 2017 created the necessity to approve education instructors.
The provider submits the course approval information. The instructor submits the FIS 2327 Application for Insurance Education Instructor Approval. Once an instructor is approved his/her approval will indicate the course type(s) he/she may teach. After the instructor is approved, the provider may submit a FIS 2331 Insurance Education Instructor Association Request to associate the instructor with the provider.
