For almost ten years, CEU.com has offered continuing education courses to insurance professionals via the Internet. People who work as adjusters or agents in the insurance industry are required to take these courses in order to maintain their licensing, and having the ability to take the courses online, day or night, allows students to make the most efficient use of their time. Online continuing education has proven to be a practical and cost-effective breakthrough, and now CEU.com is pleased to add another dimension to their online courses – downloadable audio podcasts.

With the downloadable course audio, students can take the course material with them even when they are away from their computers. When a student signs up for a course, he or she can simply save the audio to an iPod or other MP3 player. Then the course can go with him or her while commuting, working out at the gym, taking care of housework – wherever an audio player can go. The student can review the material as many times as necessary without having to sit at a computer the entire time.

“At CEU.com, we pride ourselves in using technology to its greatest advantage,” said Bruce MacMillian, CEU’s president and CEO. “Making the audio from our courses downloadable makes perfect sense, and it’s a great use of the technology. Freeing our students to take the audio with them to review at their convenience will help them to retain and utilize the information to enhance their careers, and that’s what continuing education is all about.”
