Description:
Surety bonds might not be flashy, but they’re essential—especially for agents working with contractors and commercial clients. This course takes the mystery out of surety by breaking down the basics in an approachable, practical way. Participants will explore the different types of bonds, how they function, what underwriters evaluate and how surety differs from traditional insurance. You'll also gain strategies for asking the right questions and communicating effectively with clients about the bonding process. Whether you're new to surety or looking for a refresher, you'll leave this course with the tools and confidence to better serve your clients.
