Ask and you shall receive.  We received a great response to our inquiry regarding whether or not there was interest in a public P&C course. We're happy to oblige.

Since ACORD is currently supporting one production standard (1.x) and actively promoting their next generation XML for P&C (AML, aka 2.0), we are offering both courses.  

Unsure of which course is appropriate for you?   Just ask and we'll help you decide. 

And if you've never been to San Francisco, you're in for a treat. It is by far my favorite city. And our offices are relocating back to SF this summer so join us for our homecoming.
