Answer Keys
Unlike previous editions, this version of the VEP is no longer an approved Continuing Education (CE) course administered by Schinnerer.
Insured firms that are currently CE providers have a license to take the VEP content and register the course as one of their own. This license is valid as long as the firm is one of our policyholders.
For individuals that depend on state regulations and professional society requirements for licensure, it may be possible to obtain credit through a "self-structured learning experience" using our VEP material. Please check with your state licensing board or applicable professional society for requirements.
